In mathematics, a unary function is a function that takes one argument. A unary operator belongs to a subset of unary functions, in that its codomain coincides with its domain. In contrast, a unary function's domain need not coincide with its range.
The successor function, denoted
In some programming languages such as C, executing this operation is denoted by postfixing ++
to the operand, i.e. the use of n++
is equivalent to executing the assignment
Many of the elementary functions are unary functions, including the trigonometric functions, logarithm with a specified base, exponentiation to a particular power or base, and hyperbolic functions.
