Answer / venkanna

swap(a,b);
{
a=a+b;
b=a-b;
a=a-b;
}
Explenation:
if a=5 and b=10
a=a+b(5+10)=15
b=a-b(15-10)=5------------swaped here
a=a-b(15-5)=10------------

~=XOR operator( not able to write xor
operator so iam using this symbol which is not

Answer / rajeshwar raja

Swap(int* a, int* b)
{
(*a) ^= (*b) ^= (*a) ^= (*b);
}

Explanation:
Expressions are evaluated from right to left.
Take the right most operation (*a) ^= (*b), its is short
hand XOR operation between 'a' and 'b'.
Assume a = 2 and b = 3.
a = 2 ^ 3 = 1
Next operation (*b) ^= (*a),
b = 3 ^ 1 = 2 (Note a is 1 now) ***(b is 2)***
Next operation (*a) ^= (*b)
a = 1 ^ 2 = 3 (Note b is 2 now) ***(a is 3)***

SWAPPED!!!
It can swap complex data structures also.
