# iter_swap(std::move_iterator)

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | iterator‎ | move iterator

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

Swaps the objects pointed to by two underlying iterators. The function body is equivalent to ranges::iter_swap(x.base(), y.base());.

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

### Parameters

x, y | - | move iterators to the elements to swap.

### Return value

(none)

### Complexity

Constant

### Exceptions

`noexcept` specification:
noexcept(noexcept( ranges::iter_swap( x.base(), y.base() ) ))

### Example

Run this code

    #include <iostream>
    #include <iterator>
    #include <string>
    #include <vector>

    int main()
    {
        std::vector<std::string> p { "AA", "EE" },
                                 q { "ⱯⱯ", "ƎƎ" };

        std::move_iterator<std::vector<std::string>::iterator>
            x = std::make_move_iterator( p.begin() ),
            y = std::make_move_iterator( q.begin() );

        std::cout << *x << ' ' << *y << '\n';

        iter_swap(x, y); // ADL

        std::cout << *x << ' ' << *y << '\n';
    }

Output:

    AA ⱯⱯ
    ⱯⱯ AA
