std::array<T,N>::swap
Min standard notice:
Exchanges the contents of the container with those of other. Does not cause iterators and references to associate with the other container.
# Declarations
void swap( array& other ) noexcept(/* see below */);
(since C++11) (constexpr since C++20)
# Parameters
other: container to exchange the contents with
# Return value
(none)
# Example
#include <array>
#include <iostream>
template<class Os, class V> Os& operator<<(Os& os, const V& v)
{
os << '{';
for (auto i : v)
os << ' ' << i;
return os << " } ";
}
int main()
{
std::array<int, 3> a1{1, 2, 3}, a2{4, 5, 6};
auto it1 = a1.begin();
auto it2 = a2.begin();
int& ref1 = a1[1];
int& ref2 = a2[1];
std::cout << a1 << a2 << *it1 << ' ' << *it2 << ' ' << ref1 << ' ' << ref2 << '\n';
a1.swap(a2);
std::cout << a1 << a2 << *it1 << ' ' << *it2 << ' ' << ref1 << ' ' << ref2 << '\n';
// Note that after swap iterators and references stay associated with their original
// array, e.g. `it1` still points to element a1[0], `ref1` still refers to a1[1].
