std::swap(std::array) - cppreference.com

From cppreference.com

Defined in header `<array>`
template< class T, std::size_t N > void swap( std::array<T, N>& lhs, std::array<T, N>& rhs );		(since C++11) (until C++17)
template< class T, std::size_t N > void swap( std::array<T, N>& lhs, std::array<T, N>& rhs ) noexcept(/* see below */);		(since C++17) (constexpr since C++20)

Specializes the std::swap algorithm for std::array. Swaps the contents of lhs and rhs. Calls lhs.swap(rhs).

This overload participates in overload resolution only if N == 0 or std::is_swappable_v<T> is true.

(since C++17)

Parameters

lhs, rhs

containers whose contents to swap

Complexity

Linear in size of the containers.

Exceptions

noexcept

specification:

noexcept(noexcept(lhs.swap(rhs)))

(since C++17)

Example

#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <array>

int main()
{
    std::array<int, 3> alice{1, 2, 3};
    std::array<int, 3> bob{7, 8, 9};

    auto print = [](const int& n) { std::cout << ' ' << n; };

    // Print state before swap
    std::cout << "Alice:";
    std::for_each(alice.begin(), alice.end(), print);
    std::cout << "\nBobby:";
    std::for_each(bob.begin(), bob.end(), print);
    std::cout << '\n';

    std::cout << "-- SWAP\n";
    std::swap(alice, bob);

    // Print state after swap
    std::cout << "Alice:";
    std::for_each(alice.begin(), alice.end(), print);
    std::cout << "\nBobby:";
    std::for_each(bob.begin(), bob.end(), print);
    std::cout << '\n';
}

Output:

Alice: 1 2 3
Bobby: 7 8 9
-- SWAP
Alice: 7 8 9
Bobby: 1 2 3
