public member function
<unordered_set>

std::unordered_set::swap

void swap ( unordered_set& ust );
Swap content
Exchanges the content of the container by the content of ust, which is another unordered_set object containing elements of the same type. Sizes may differ.

After the call to this member function, the elements in this container are those which were in ust before the call, and the elements of ust are those which were in this. Other objects kept internally by the containers (such as their hasher or key_equal objects) are also swapped.

This function exchanges internal pointers to data between the containers without actually performing any copies or moves on the individual elements, allowing for constant time execution no matter the sizes.

Notice that a global algorithm function exists with this same name, swap. This global function is overloaded for arguments of type unordered_set to have the same behavior and complexity as this member function.

Parameters

ust
Another unordered_set container object of the same type as this.

Return value

none

// unordered_set::swap
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <unordered_set>

int main ()
{
  std::unordered_set<std::string>
     first = {"iron","copper","oil"},
     second  = {"wood","corn","milk"};

  first.swap(second);

  std::cout << "first:";
  for (const std::string& x: first) std::cout << " " << x;
  std::cout << std::endl;

  std::cout << "second:";
  for (const std::string& x: second) std::cout << " " << x;
  std::cout << std::endl;

  return 0;
}

Possible output:
first: corn milk wood
second: oil copper iron


Complexity

Constant.

Iterator validity

All iterators, pointers and references remain valid, but now are referring to elements in the other container, and iterate in it.
