C Program to swap two numbers using bitwise XOR
We start the programs, by reading the input. The input to the program is two numbers. Let the two numbers be ‘a’ and ‘b’ of type integer.
Input: ‘a’ and ‘b’ (int)
Output: Swapped values of ‘a’ and ‘b’
Reading input,
scanf("%d%d",&a,&b); Let a = 5 and b = 7
Bit pattern of a and b
Please refer to this on how to get the bit pattern.
We perform the XOR of a and b (a ^ b) and we get the answer as 2. This answer we store either in a or b.
Note: XOR forms an abelian group under set of integers.
If we store the answer of a^b in a, that is,
a = a ^ b;
If we perform a^b again, we get 5. We want to store the 5 in b, therefore we write,
b = a ^ b;
To get 7 back, we write a^b
a = a ^ b;
C Program
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int a, b;
printf("Enter two numbers:");
scanf("%d%d",&a,&b);
a = a ^ b;
b = a ^ b;
a = a ^ b;
printf("a=%d\nb=%d\n",a,b);
return 0;
}
Note: This logic can only be applied on integers as bitwise operators are only applicable on integers.
