Using Java

Swap two numbers using temporary variable

public class SwapNumbers {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        float first = 1.20f, second = 2.45f;

        System.out.println("--Before swap--");
        System.out.println("First number = " + first);
        System.out.println("Second number = " + second);

        // Value of first is assigned to temporary
        float temporary = first;

        // Value of second is assigned to first
        first = second;

        // Value of temporary (which contains the initial value of first) is assigned to second
        second = temporary;

        System.out.println("--After swap--");
        System.out.println("First number = " + first);
        System.out.println("Second number = " + second);
    }
}
Output:

--Before swap--
First number = 1.2
Second number = 2.45
--After swap--
First number = 2.45
Second number = 1.2

Swap two numbers without using temporary variable

public class SwapNumbers {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        float first = 12.0f, second = 24.5f;

        System.out.println("--Before swap--");
        System.out.println("First number = " + first);
        System.out.println("Second number = " + second);

        first = first - second;
        second = first + second;
        first = second - first;

        System.out.println("--After swap--");
        System.out.println("First number = " + first);
        System.out.println("Second number = " + second);
    }
}
Output:

--Before swap--
First number = 12.0
Second number = 24.5
--After swap--
First number = 24.5
Second number = 12.0
