Example

The following example shows the usage of std::multimap::swap() function.

#include <iostream>
#include <map>

using namespace std;

int main(void) {
   /* Multimap with duplicates */
   multimap<char, int> m1 {
            {'a', 1},
            {'a', 2},
            {'b', 3},
            {'c', 4},
            {'d', 5}
         };

   multimap<char, int> m2;

   m2.swap(m1);

   cout << "Multimap contains following elements:" << endl;

   for (auto it = m2.begin(); it != m2.end(); ++it)
      cout << it->first << " = " << it->second << endl;

   return 0;
}

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

Multimap contains following elements:
a = 1
a = 2
b = 3
c = 4
d = 5
