swap() Function in C++

This C++ program swaps elements of containers using swap() algorithm. The program initializes the elements of the container to be swapped, the containers are passed to the function by reference and the elements of the containers are swapped.

Here is the source code of the C++ program which swaps elements of two container using swap() algorithm. The C++ program is successfully compiled and run on a Linux system. The program output is also shown below.

$ a.out

European Countries : Bhutan    China     India     Japan     
 
Countries are in wrong lists. They are to be swapped!
 
Asian Countries    : Bhutan    China     India     Japan     
European Countries : Belarus   Croatia   Denmark   Finland   
 
Now they are in right lists!
