MSDN for_each sample
Hello everyone,
I do not know why in for_each sample of MSDN, operator double() is
invoked. Which statement triggers operator double()?

[Code]
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
// The function object to determine the average
class Average
{
private:
long num; // The number of elements
long sum; // The sum of the elements
public:
// Constructor initializes the value to multiply by
Average ( ) : num ( 0 ) , sum ( 0 )
{
}
// The function call to process the next elment
void operator ( ) ( int elem ) \
{
num++; // Increment the element count
sum += elem; // Add the value to the partial sum
}
// return Average
operator double ( )
{
return static_cast <double> (sum) /
static_cast <double> (num);
}
};
int main( )
{
using namespace std;
vector <int> v1;
vector <int>::iterator Iter1;
// Constructing vector v1
int i;
for ( i = -4 ; i <= 2 ; i++ )
{
v1.push_back( i );
}
// The local state of a function object can accumulate
// information about a sequence of actions that the
// return value can make available, here the Average
double avemod2 = for_each ( v1.begin ( ) , v1.end ( ) ,
Average ( ) );
cout << "The average of the elements of v1 is:\n Average ( v1mod2 )
= "
<< avemod2 << "." << endl;
}

thanks in advance,
