C program to swap two numbers without using temporary variable(method 2)

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 2: Without using third variable
#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
    int num1=10,num2=20;
    void swapWithoutTemp (int,int);  //function prototype
   printf("Values before swapping by call by value: num1=%d,num2=%d.\n",num1,num2);
    swapWithoutTemp (num1,num2);     
    return 0;
}
//function definition : without using third variable
void swapWithoutTemp(int n1,int n2){
  n1=n1+n2;
  n2=n1-n2;
  n1=n1-n2;
  printf("Inside swap2 : num1=%d,num2=%d\n",n1,n2);
}
