Swapping of two numbers: C Program

1952

C program to swap two numbers with and without using third variable, swapping in c using pointer and functions(call by reference) and using bitwise XOR operator, swapping means interchanging.But,Here we do not discuss about pointer and functions(call by reference) .This topic enable for understand after learning of pointer and function.Then that will be discuss latter. For example if in your c program you have taken two variable a and b where a = 4 and b = 5, then before swapping a = 4, b = 5 after swapping a = 5, b = 4
In our c program to swap numbers we will use a temp variable to swap two numbers.

 x = y;

 y = temp;

  printf(“After Swapping\nx = %d\ny = %d\n”,x,y);

Enter the value of x and y:4 5

Before Swapping
x=4
y=5

After Swapping
x=5
y=4

a = a + b;

b = a – b;

a = a – b;

printf(“a = %d\n b = %d\n”,a,b);
