Question

i had a view at the below references:

bind1st

bind2nd

what i did not understand is the difference between the two.
Can anyone help me to get to know the difference.an example would be more helpful.

Answer 1

bind1st binds the first argument (e.g. you have foo(int a, int b), then bind1st(foo, 1)(bar) will be equivalent to foo(1, bar)), bind2nd the second one. Don’t use them, though, they’re nigh useless — use generalised boost::bind instead (or std::bind in C++0x).
