pls i need help with
a) understanding the error at the bottom of the code
b) making another function object, (almost) identical to
Accumulate_op, say Accumulate_const_op whose operator is defined as R
operator()(R sum_so_far,const C& obj)const
what would be the best way? i'm hoping i can create a more general
Accumulate_op with an extra par to specify if C& should be const or
not.


See below.

//here is the code:

template<typename C,typename R,R (C::*F)()> class Accumulate_op:
public std::binary_function<R,C,R>{//,typename R (C::*F)()
              public:
                      Accumulate_op(){};
                      R operator()(R sum_so_far,C& obj)const;
      };
template<typename C,typename R,R (C::*F)()> R
Accumulate_op<C,R,F>::operator()(R sum_so_far,C& obj)const{
              return sum_so_far+(obj.*F)();
      };

class Test{
      public:
              Test(){};
              long double get(){return 0.9;};
};

int main(){
      Test t;
      std::vector<Test> vec(3);
      vec.push_back(t);
      vec.push_back(t);
      vec.push_back(t);


So, your total number of vector elements is 6 here...

      std::cout<<
              std::accumulate(
                      vec.begin,
                      vec.end(),
                      0.0,
                      Accumulate_op<Test,long double,&Test::get>()
              )<<std::endl;//error shows here
return 0;
}
//end of code

error: conversion from '<unresolved overloaded function type>' to
 non-scalar type '__gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<Test*,
std::vector<Test,
 std::allocator<Test> > >' requested


OK, you solved this one. Here is what I propose:
===================================================================
class Test {
public:
    long double get() { return 0.9; }
};

class TestConst {
public:
    long double get() const { return 0.9; }
};

#include <numeric>
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>

template<typename C, typename R, typename Ff>
class Accumulate_op_T {
    Ff F;
public:
    Accumulate_op_T(Ff f) : F(f) {}
    R operator()(R sum_so_far, C& obj) const
    {
        return sum_so_far + (obj.*F)();
    }
};

template<typename C, typename R, typename Ff>
Accumulate_op_T<C,R,Ff> Accumulate_op(Ff f) {
    return Accumulate_op_T<C,R,Ff>(f);
}

int main(){
    Test t;
    std::vector<Test> vec(3, t);
    TestConst tc;
    std::vector<TestConst> vecc(4, tc);

    std::cout
        << std::accumulate(
                vec.begin(),
                vec.end(),
                0.0,
                Accumulate_op<Test, long double>(&Test::get))
        << std::endl;
    std::cout
        << std::accumulate(
                vecc.begin(),
                vecc.end(),
                0.0,
                Accumulate_op<TestConst, long double>(&TestConst::get))
        << std::endl;
    return 0;
}
===================================================================
