*Constraints*: x.first == y.first and x.second == y.second are
valid expressions and
each of decltype(x.first == y.first) anddecltype(x.second == y.second) models *boolean-  
testable*[.](#1.sentence-1)

*Returns*: x.first == y.first && x.second == y.second[.](#2.sentence-1)

*Effects*: Equivalent to:if (auto c = *synth-three-way*(x.first, y.first); c != 0) return c;return *synth-three-way*(x.second, y.second);

`template<class T1, class T2>

  constexpr void swap(const pair<T1, T2>& x, const pair<T1, T2>& y) noexcept(noexcept(x.swap(y)));

*Constraints*: 

- [(4.1)](#4.1)

  For the first overload,is_swappable_v<T1> is true andis_swappable_v<T2> is true[.](#4.1.sentence-1)

- [(4.2)](#4.2)

  For the second overload,is_swappable_v<const T1> is true andis_swappable_v<const T2> is true[.](#4.2.sentence-1)

*Effects*: Equivalent to x.swap(y)[.](#5.sentence-1)

[🔗](#lib:make_pair)

*Returns*: pair<unwrap_ref_decay_t<T1>,
 unwrap_ref_decay_t<T2>>(std::forward<T1>(x), std::forward<T2>(y))

In place of:return pair<int, double>(5, 3.1415926); // explicit types a C++ program may contain:return make_pair(5, 3.1415926); // types are deduced
