// shared_ptr::swap example
#include <iostream>
#include <memory>

int main () {
  std::shared_ptr<int> foo (new int(10));
  std::shared_ptr<int> bar (new int(20));

  foo.swap(bar);

  std::cout << "*foo: " << *foo << '\n';
  std::cout << "*bar: " << *bar << '\n';

  return 0;
}


Output:
*foo: 20
*bar: 10
