void swap(pair& other) noexcept(/* see below */);
(since C++11)

Swaps first with other.first and second with other.second.

Parameters

other - pair of values to swap

Return value

(none)

Exceptions

noexcept specification:
noexcept(

noexcept(swap(first, other.first)) &&
noexcept(swap(second, other.second))

)

In the expression above, the identifier swap is looked up in the same manner as the one used by the C++17 std::is_nothrow_swappable trait.

(until C++17)
noexcept specification:
noexcept(

std::is_nothrow_swappable<first_type>::value &&
std::is_nothrow_swappable<second_type>::value

)
(since C++17)

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <utility>
#include <string>
int main()
{
    std::pair<int, std::string> p1, p2;
    p1 = std::make_pair(10, "test");
    p2.swap(p1);
    std::cout << "(" << p2.first << ", " << p2.second << ")\n";
}

Output:

(10, test)
