# std::iter_swap(std::reverse_iterator)

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | iterator‎ | reverse iterator

template< std::indirectly_swappable<Iter> Iter2 > friend constexpr void iter_swap( const reverse_iterator& x, const std::reverse_iterator<Iter2>& y ) noexcept(/*see below*/); |  | (since C++20)

Swaps the objects pointed to by two adjusted underlying iterators. The function body is equivalent to:

    auto tmp_x = x.base();
    auto tmp_y = y.base();
    ranges::iter_swap(--tmp_x, --tmp_y);

This function template is not visible to ordinary unqualified or qualified lookup, and can only be found by argument-dependent lookup when `std::reverse_iterator<Iter>` is an associated class of the arguments.

### Parameters

x, y | - | reverse iterators to the elements to swap

### Return value

(none)

### Complexity

Constant

### Exceptions

`noexcept` specification:
noexcept(

std::is_nothrow_copy_constructible_v<Iter> &&
std::is_nothrow_copy_constructible_v<Iter2> &&
noexcept(ranges::iter_swap(--std::declval<Iter&>(), --std::declval<Iter2&>()))

)

### Example

Run this code

    #include <iostream>
    #include <iterator>
    #include <list>
    #include <vector>

    int main()
    {
        std::vector v {1, 2, 3};
        std::list   l {4, 5, 6};

        std::reverse_iterator<std::vector<int>::iterator> r1 { v.rbegin() };
        std::reverse_iterator<std::list<int>::iterator>   r2 { l.rbegin() };

        std::cout << *r1 << ' ' << *r2 << '\n';

        iter_swap(r1, r2); // ADL

        std::cout << *r1 << ' ' << *r2 << '\n';
    }

Output:

    3 6
    6 3
