std::vector<bool,Allocator>::swap

Defined in header `<vector>`
static void swap( reference x, reference y );		(constexpr since C++20)

Swaps the contents of x and y as if by bool b = x; x = y; y = b;.

Parameters

x	-	`std::vector`<bool>::`reference` value to swap with `y`
y	-	`std::vector`<bool>::`reference` value to swap with `x`

Return value

(none)

Complexity

Constant.

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

void println(std::string_view fmt, std::vector<bool> const& vb = {})
{
    for (std::cout << fmt; bool const e : vb)
        std::cout << e << ' ';
    std::cout << '\n';
}

int main()
{
    println("swap elements of the same vector:");
    std::vector<bool> x{1, 0};
    println("before swap, x: ", x);
    x.swap(x[0], x[1]); // same as std::vector<bool>::swap(x[0], x[1]);
    println("after swap,  x: ", x);
 
    println("swap elements of two different vectors:");
    std::vector<bool> y{0, 0, 1};
    println("before swap, x: ", x);
    println("before swap, y: ", y);
    y.swap(x[0], y[2]); // same as std::vector<bool>::swap(x[0], y[2]);
    println("after swap,  x: ", x);
    println("after swap,  y: ", y);
}

Output:

swap elements of the same vector:
before swap, x: 1 0 
after swap,  x: 0 1 
swap elements of two different vectors:
before swap, x: 0 1 
before swap, y: 0 0 1 
after swap,  x: 1 1 
after swap,  y: 0 0 0
