DESCRIPTION
The mem_fun_group of templates encapsulates a pointer to a member function. Each category of template (mem_fun, mem_fun1, mem_fun_ref, or mem_fun1_ref) includes both a class template and a function template, where the class is distinguished by the addition of _t on the end of the name to identify it as a type. A set of class templates for const member functions exists, each with const_ prepended to the name.
The class’s constructor takes a pointer to a member function, and uses an operator() to forward the call to that member function. In this way the resulting object serves as a global function object for that member function.
The accompanying function template simplifies the use of this facility by constructing an instance of the class on the fly.
The library includes zero and one argument adaptors for containers of pointers and containers of references (_ref). This technique can be easily extended to include adaptors for two argument functions, and so on.

#include <functional>
#include <list>
using namespace std;
int main(void)

int a2[] = {11,4,67,3,14};

list<int> s2(a2,a2+5);
// Build a list of lists
list<list<int>∗ > l;
l.insert(l.begin(),s1);
l.insert(l.begin(),s2);
// Sort each list in the list
