# C++ named requirements: BinaryPredicate

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | named req

BinaryPredicate is a set of requirements expected by some of the standard library facilities from the user-provided arguments.

Given a BinaryPredicate `bin_pred` and a pair of iterators `iter1` and `iter2` or an iterator `iter` and a value `value`, the expression bin_pred(*iter1, *iter2) or, respectively, bin_pred(*iter, value), must be contextually convertible to bool.

In addition, evaluation of that expression is not allowed to call non-const member functions of the dereferenced iterators.

### Requirements

- Predicate
- CopyConstructible (unless otherwise specified)

### Standard library

The following standard library facilities expect a BinaryPredicate which isn't a Compare type.

unique | removes consecutive duplicate elements (public member function of `std::forward_list<T,Allocator>`)
unique | removes consecutive duplicate elements (public member function of `std::list<T,Allocator>`)
find_end | finds the last sequence of elements in a certain range (function template)
find_first_of | searches for any one of a set of elements (function template)
adjacent_find | finds the first two adjacent items that are equal (or satisfy a given predicate) (function template)
mismatch | finds the first position where two ranges differ (function template)
equal | determines if two sets of elements are the same (function template)
is_permutation (C++11) | determines if a sequence is a permutation of another sequence (function template)
search | searches for a range of elements (function template)
search_n | searches a range for a number of consecutive copies of an element (function template)
unique | removes consecutive duplicate elements in a range (function template)
unique_copy | creates a copy of some range of elements that contains no consecutive duplicates (function template)
not2 (deprecated in C++17)(removed in C++20) | constructs custom std::binary_negate object (function template)
unordered_set (C++11) | collection of unique keys, hashed by keys (class template)
unordered_map (C++11) | collection of key-value pairs, hashed by keys, keys are unique (class template)
unordered_multiset (C++11) | collection of keys, hashed by keys (class template)
unordered_multimap (C++11) | collection of key-value pairs, hashed by keys (class template)
