Category: functors	Component type: concept

Description

A Binary Predicate is a Binary Function whose result represents the truth or falsehood of some condition. A Binary Predicate might, for example, be a function that takes two arguments and tests whether they are equal.

Associated types

Result type The type returned when the Binary Predicate is called. The result type must be convertible to bool.

Notation

`F`	A type that is a model of Binary Predicate
`X`	The first argument type of `F`
`Y`	The second argument type of `F`
`f`	Object of type `F`
`x`	Object of type `X`
`y`	Object of type `Y`

Valid expressions

Name	Expression	Type requirements	Return type
Function call	`f(x,y)`		Convertible to `bool`

Expression semantics

Name	Expression	Precondition	Semantics	Postcondition
Function call	`f(x,y)`	The ordered pair `(x,y)` is in the domain of `f`.	Returns `true` if the condition is satisfied, `false` if it is not.	The result is either `true` or `false`.
