24.7 Standard Function Objects, Predicates, and Binders (cont.)

2 binders in C++
1. bind1st takes a binary function and a value, binds that value to the first argument of the input function, producing a unary function
2. bind2nd binds the 2nd argument
E.g., to search for the first negative number:
list<int>::iterator first_negative = find_if( a.begin(), a.end(), bind2nd(less<int>(), 0) );
