std::unordered_multimap<Key,T,Hash,KeyEqual,Allocator>::swap

Since C++17

Exchanges the contents of the container with those of other. Does not invoke any move, copy, or swap operations on individual elements.

# Declarations

void swap( unordered_multimap& other );

(since C++11) (until C++17)

void swap( unordered_multimap& other ) noexcept(/* see below */);

(since C++17)

# Parameters

# Example

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <utility>
#include <unordered_map>
 
// print out a std::pair
template<class Os, class U, class V>
Os& operator<<(Os& os, const std::pair<U, V>& p)
{
    return os << p.first << ':' << p.second;
}
 
// print out a container
template<class Os, class Co>
Os& operator<<(Os& os, const Co& co)
{
    os << '{';
    for (auto const& i : co)
        os << ' ' << i;
    return os << " }\n";
}

    // Note that every iterator referring to an element in one container before
    // the swap refers to the same element in the other container after the swap.
    // Same is true for references.
