Function
Algorithm that exchanges a range of values in one location with those in another
#include <algorithm> namespace std { template <class ForwardIterator1, class ForwardIterator2> ForwardIterator2 swap_ranges(ForwardIterator1 start1, ForwardIterator1 finish1, ForwardIterator2 start2); }
The swap_ranges() algorithm exchanges corresponding values in two ranges, in the following manner:
For each non-negative integer n < (finish - start), the function exchanges *(start1 + n) with *(start2 + n)). After completing all exchanges, swap_ranges() returns an iterator that points to the end of the second container (in other words, start2 + (finish1 -start1)). The result of swap_ranges() is undefined if the two ranges [start, finish) and [start2, start2 + (finish1 - start1)) overlap.
