 NAME

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

 SYNOPSIS

   #include<functional>

   template <class T>
   struct times : binary_function<T, T, T> {
    typedef typename binary_function<T, T, T>::second_argument_type
 					      second_argument_type;
    typedef typename binary_function<T, T, T>::first_argument_type
 					      first_argument_type;
    typedef typename binary_function<T, T, T>::result_type result_type;
    T operator()	(const T&, const T&) const;
   };

 DESCRIPTION

   times	is a binary function object.  Its operator() returns the
   result of multiplying x and y. You can pass a times 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. times 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(), times<int>());

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

 WARNING

   If your compiler does	not support default template parameters, then
   you need to always supply	the Allocator template argument.  For
   instance,	you will have to write :

   vector<int, allocator>

   instead of :

   vector<int>
