Hi all, How we can Swap the two values using XOR operation but without using third Variable?
Thanks

Very simple
Code:
int x = 1;
int y = 10;
x = x^y;
y = x^y;
x = x^y;
This is similar to doing with +- or */

Thanks

we can do in a single line using compound assignment tooo......
x^=y^=x^=y;

the above too will work
