                    | Defined in header  <type_traits> | ||
| template<class B> struct negation; | (1) | (since C++17) | 
Forms the logical negation of the type trait B.
The type std::negation<B> is a UnaryTypeTrait with a BaseCharacteristic of std::bool_constant<!bool(B::value)>.
Template parameters
| B | - | any type such that the expression bool(B::value) is a valid constant expression | 
Helper variable template
| template<class B> inline constexpr bool negation_v = negation<B>::value; | (since C++17) | |
Inherited from std::integral_constant
Member constants
| value [static] | true if Bhas a member::valuethat is false when explicitly converted tobool, false otherwise(public static member constant) | 
Member functions
| operator bool | converts the object to bool, returns value(public member function) | 
| operator() (C++14) | returns value(public member function) | 
Member types
| Type | Definition | 
| value_type | bool | 
| type | std::integral_constant<bool, value> | 
Possible implementation
| template<class B> struct negation : std::bool_constant<!bool(B::value)> { }; | 
Example
Run this code
#include <iostream> #include <type_traits> static_assert( std::is_same< std::bool_constant<false>, typename std::negation<std::bool_constant<true>>::type>::value, ""); static_assert( std::is_same< std::bool_constant<true>, typename std::negation<std::bool_constant<false>>::type>::value, ""); int main() { std::cout << std::boolalpha; std::cout << std::negation<std::bool_constant<true>>::value << '\n'; std::cout << std::negation<std::bool_constant<false>>::value << '\n'; }
Output:
false true
