Well, it depends on whether you are dereferencing the vector elements
directly or whether you just have iterators to them.

If you have iterators pointing to the elements, then

  std::iter_swap(iterator1, iterator2);

is just the same as

  std::swap(*iterator1, *iterator2);

If you are indexing the vector directly, then just do a

  std::swap(v[index1], v[index2]);
