5 DIFFERENT WAYS TO SWAP TWO NUMBERS

Hi friends, here I'm posting 5 different ways to swap two numbers using any programming language like C,C++,Java etc.


             1.      // Easy n native way swapping using three variables (Takes extra memory space)
int a=2, b=5, c;
c=a;
a=b;
b=c;

2.      // using arithmetic operations
a=a+b;
b=a-b;
a=a-b;

3.       // using bit-wise operations
a=a^b;
b=b^a;
a=a^b;

4.      // one line statement using bit-wise operators
      //Most efficient way, less time consumption
a^=b^=a^=b;

//Same as 3 in on line

5.     // Most tricky way, one line way of 1
                  a=(a+b) - (b=a);
