C++ trying to swap values in a vector

Question

This is my swap function:

template 
void swap (t& x, t& y)
{
    t temp = x;
    x = y;
    y = temp;
    return;
}

Answer 1

I think what you are looking for is iter_swap which you can find also in .
all you need to do is just pass two iterators each pointing at one of the elements you want to exchange.
since you have the position of the two elements, you can do something like this:

// assuming your vector is called v
iter_swap(v.begin() + position, v.begin() + next_position);
// position, next_position are the indices of the elements you want to swap
