# std::pair::operator=

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | utility‎ | pair

pair& operator=( const pair& other ); | (1) |
template< class U1, class U2 > pair& operator=( const pair<U1,U2>& other ); | (2) |
pair& operator=( pair&& other ); | (3) | (since C++11)
template< class U1, class U2 > pair& operator=( pair<U1,U2>&& other ); | (4) | (since C++11)

Replaces the contents of the pair.

1) Copy assignment operator. Replaces the contents with a copy of the contents of other.
2) Assigns `other.first` to `first` and `other.second` to `second`
3) Move assignment operator. Replaces the contents with those of `other` using move semantics.
4) Assigns std::forward<U1>(p.first) to `first` and std::forward<U2>(p.second) to `second`.

The behavior of these functions is undefined unless: For (1),std::is_copy_assignable<first_type>::value and std::is_copy_assignable<second_type>::value are both true. For (2),std::is_assignable<first_type&, const U1&>::value and std::is_assignable<second_type&, const U2&>::value are both true. For (3),std::is_move_assignable<first_type>::value and std::is_move_assignable<second_type>::value are both true. For (4),std::is_assignable<first_type&, U1&&>::value and std::is_assignable<second_type&, U2&&>::value are both true. | (until C++17)
These functions do not participate in overload resolution (or, for the copy assignment operator, is defined as deleted) if any required assignment operation is invalid. Specifically: (1) is defined as deleted unless std::is_copy_assignable_v<first_type> and std::is_copy_assignable_v<second_type> are both true. (2) does not participate in overload resolution unless std::is_assignable_v<first_type&, const U1&> and std::is_assignable_v<second_type&, const U2&> are both true. (3) does not participate in overload resolution unless std::is_move_assignable_v<first_type> and std::is_move_assignable_v<second_type> are both true. (4) does not participate in overload resolution unless std::is_assignable_v<first_type&, U1&&> and std::is_assignable_v<second_type&, U2&&> are both true. | (since C++17)
