unordered_set swap() in C++ STL Last Updated : 09 Oct, 2018 Comments Improve Suggest changes Like Article Like Report The swap() method of “unordered_set” swaps the contents of two containers. It is public member function. This function: Exchanges the content of the container by the content of variable, which is another unordered_set object containing elements of the same type but the sizes may differ. After the call to this member function, the elements in this container are those which were in variable before the call, and the elements of variable are those which were in this. Syntax: void swap(unordered_set &another_unordered_set); Parameters: It receives another_unordered_set container object of the same type as this container with which it is to be swapped. Returns: It does not return any value. Below program illustrate the unordered_set swap() function :- Example 1: CPP #include <iostream> #include <string> #include <unordered_set> using namespace std; int main() { // sets the values in two container unordered_set<string> first = { "FOR GEEKS" }, second = { "GEEKS" }; // before swap values cout << "before swap :- \n"; cout << "1st container : "; for (const string& x : first) cout << x << endl; cout << "2nd container : "; for (const string& x : second) cout << x << endl; // call swap first.swap(second); // after swap values cout << "\nafter swap :- \n"; // displaying 1st container cout << "1st container : "; for (const string& x : first) cout << x << endl; // displaying 2nd container cout << "2nd container : "; for (const string& x : second) cout << x << endl; return 0; } Output: before swap :- 1st container : FOR GEEKS 2nd container : GEEKS after swap :- 1st container : GEEKS 2nd container : FOR GEEKS Example 2: CPP #include <iostream> #include <string> #include <unordered_set> using namespace std; int main() { // sets the values in two container unordered_set<int> first = { 1, 2, 3 }, second = { 4, 5, 6 }; // before swap values cout << "before swap :- \n"; cout << "1st container : "; for (const int& x : first) cout << x << " "; cout << endl; cout << "2nd container : "; for (const int& x : second) cout << x << " "; cout << endl; // call swap first.swap(second); // after swap values cout << "\nafter swap :- \n"; // displaying 1st container cout << "1st container : "; for (const int& x : first) cout << x << " "; cout << endl; // displaying 2nd container cout << "2nd container : "; for (const int& x : second) cout << x << " "; cout << endl; return 0; } Output: before swap :- 1st container : 3 2 1 2nd container : 6 5 4 after swap :- 1st container : 6 5 4 2nd container : 3 2 1 Comment T tufan_gupta2000 Follow 0 Improve T tufan_gupta2000 Follow 0 Improve Article Tags : C++ CPP-Functions cpp-unordered_set Explore C++ BasicsIntroduction to C++3 min readData Types in C++6 min readVariables in C++4 min readOperators in C++9 min readBasic Input / Output in C++3 min readControl flow statements in Programming15+ min readLoops in C++7 min readFunctions in C++8 min readArrays in C++8 min readCore ConceptsPointers and References in C++5 min readnew and delete Operators in C++ For Dynamic Memory5 min readTemplates in C++8 min readStructures, Unions and Enumerations in C++3 min readException Handling in C++12 min readFile Handling in C++8 min readMultithreading in C++8 min readNamespace in C++5 min readOOP in C++Object Oriented Programming in C++8 min readInheritance in C++6 min readPolymorphism in C++5 min readEncapsulation in C++3 min readAbstraction in C++4 min readStandard Template Library(STL)Standard Template Library (STL) in C++3 min readContainers in C++ STL2 min readIterators in C++ STL10 min readC++ STL Algorithm Library3 min readPractice & ProblemsC++ Interview Questions and Answers1 min readC++ Programming Examples4 min read Like
