C program to swap two numbers using bit-wise XOR (method 3)

Swapping is used in sorting algorithms like in bubble sort,that is when we wish to arrange numbers in a particular order either in ascending order or in descending order.

Problem:

Given two numbers num1=a and num2=b, task is exchange values of these numbers i.e num1=b and num2=a;

Method 3: Using bit-wise XOR

#include<stdio.h>

int main(){

    int num1=10,num2=20;

    void swapXOR(int,int);  //function prototype

   printf("Values before swapping by call by value:num1=%d,num2=%d.\n",num1,num2);

    swapXOR (num1,num2);    

    return 0;

}

//function definition : using bitwise XOR operator

void swapXOR (int n1,int n2){

  n1 = n1 ^ n2;

  n2 = n1 ^ n2;

  n1 = n1 ^ n2;

  printf("Inside swap3 : num1=%d,num2=%d\n",n1,n2);

}
