The exchange() function is a built-in function in C++ 14 defined in the <utility> header. The exchange() function copies new value to old value and it will return the old value.

Syntax:

exchange(old, new)

Parameters: The function needs two parameters. 

  1. The parameter needs to be set.
  2. The parameter with which we wanted to set our parameter 1

Return Value: It returns the old value which means the parameter that needs to be set

Example 1:

C++14




// C++ Program to demonstrate
// exchange()
#include <iostream>
#include <utility>
using namespace std;
 
int main()
{
    int x = 10;
    int y = 20;
 
    // Setting value of y to x
    exchange(x, y);
 
    cout << "Value of x:" << x << '\n'
         << "Value of y:" << y << endl;
    int a = 40;
    int b = 30;
 
    // Setting value of b to a and copying a to b
    b = exchange(a, b);
 
    cout << "Value of a:" << a << '\n'
         << "Value of b:" << b << endl;
 
    return 0;
}


Output

Value of x:20
Value of y:20
Value of a:30
Value of b:40

Example 2:

C++14




// C++ Program to demonstrate
// exchange()
#include <iostream>
#include <utility>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
 
int main()
{
    // We can also set one vector
    // values to another vector
    vector<int> v1 = { 2, 4, 6, 8 };
    vector<int> v2 = { 1, 3, 5, 7 };
    v2 = exchange(v1, v2);
    cout << "Values of v1 after exchange:" << endl;
    for (auto ele : v1) {
        cout << ele << " ";
    }
    cout << endl;
    cout << "Values of v2 after exchange:" << endl;
    for (auto ele : v2) {
        cout << ele << " ";
    }
    return 0;
}


Output

Values of v1 after exchange:
1 3 5 7 
Values of v2 after exchange:
2 4 6 8
