# Swap Two Items in a Vector
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to replace the value at an index in a vector, you can use the
|
||||
`assoc` function supplied by `clojure.core` like so:
|
||||
|
||||
```clojure
|
||||
> (assoc [5 6 7 8] 1 9)
|
||||
; [5 9 7 8]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Likewise, if you want to replace two items in a vector, you can extend the
|
||||
above like so:
|
||||
|
||||
```clojure
|
||||
> (assoc [5 6 7 8] 1 2 2 4)
|
||||
; [5 2 4 8]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
We can take advantage of that second example to construct a function that
|
||||
will swap two values:
|
||||
|
||||
```clojure
|
||||
(defn swap
|
||||
[items i j]
|
||||
(assoc items i (items j) j (items i)))
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This function will break on values of `i` and `j` that are out of the bounds
|
||||
of `items`, but dealing with that is left as an exercise to the reader.
