To show: How to use the C++ swap() member function to exchange the arrays of characters of two strings in C++ programming

// the C++ swap() member function program example

#include <string>

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(void)

{

// declaring an object of type basic_string<char>

string str1("StringOne");

string str2("StringTwo");

cout<<"Before swapping string str1 and str2:"<<endl;

cout<<"str1 string is = "<<str1<<endl;

cout<<"str2 string is = "<<str2<<endl;

swap(str1, str2);

cout<<"\nOperation: swap(str1, str2)"<<endl;

cout<<"After swapping string str1 and str2:"<<endl;

cout<<"str1 string is = "<<str1<<endl;

cout<<"str2 string is = "<<str2<<endl;

return 0;

}

Output example:

Before swapping string str1 and str2:

str1 string is = StringOne

str2 string is = StringTwo

Operation: swap(str1, str2)

After swapping string str1 and str2:

str1 string is = StringTwo

str2 string is = StringOne
