A binary function object that returns the result of multiplying its first and second arguments

#include <functional>

namespace std {
  template <class T>
  struct multiplies : binary_function<T, T, T>;
}

multiplies is a binary function object. Its operator() returns the result of multiplying x and y. You can pass a multiplies object to any algorithm that uses a binary function. For example, the transform() algorithm applies a binary operation to corresponding values in two collections and stores the result. multiplies would be used in that algorithm in the following manner:

vector<int> vec1;
vector<int> vec2;
vector<int> vecResult;
.
.
.
transform(vec1.begin(), vec1.end(),
          vec2.begin(), vec2.end(),
          vecResult.begin(), multiplies<int>());

After this call to transform(), vecResult(n) contains vec1(n) times vec2(n).

template <class T>
struct multiplies : binary_function<T, T, T> {
  T operator() (const T&, const T&) const;
};
