Description
A Binary Predicate is a BinaryFunction 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.

BinaryFunction
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 . |
