I have this implementation of vector that I've been working on for a few days using examples from a textbook:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cassert>
#include <algorithm>
#include <cstring>



// Vector.h

using namespace std;

template <class T>
class Vector
{
public:

   typedef T * iterator;

   Vector();
   Vector(unsigned int size);
   Vector(unsigned int size, const T & initial);
   Vector(const Vector<T> & v);           // copy constructor
   ~Vector();

   unsigned int capacity() const;         // return capacity of vector (in elements)
   unsigned int size() const;             // return the number of elements in the vector
   bool empty() const;

   iterator begin();                      // return an iterator pointing to the first element
   iterator end();                        // return an iterator pointing to one past the last element
   T & front();                           // return a reference to the first element
   T & back();                            // return a reference to the last element
   void push_back(const T & value);       // add a new element
   void pop_back();                       // remove the last element

   void reserve(unsigned int capacity);   // adjust capacity
   void resize(unsigned int size);        // adjust size
   void erase(unsigned int size);     // deletes an element from the vector

   T & operator[](unsigned int index);    // return reference to numbered element

So far it works pretty well, but I want to add a couple of functions to it that I can't find examples for, a SWAP function that would look at two elements of the vector and switch their values and and an ERASE function that would delete a specific value or range of values in the vector. How should I begin implementing the two extra functions?
