Example
Run this code
#include <string> #include <iostream> int main() { std::string a = "AAA"; std::string b = "BBB"; std::cout << "before swap" << '\n'; std::cout << "a: " << a << '\n'; std::cout << "b: " << b << '\n'; a.swap(b); std::cout << "after swap" << '\n'; std::cout << "a: " << a << '\n'; std::cout << "b: " << b << '\n'; }
Output:
before swap a: AAA b: BBB after swap a: BBB b: AAA
Complexity
Constant.
