Swapping of two numbers in c++ is c++ program to swap two numbers in c++ without using third variable
In this tutorial, we are going to learn new program which is a simple program and most commonly used in exams or in interviews that is Swap two numbers without using third variable.
What is swapping: Swapping two number means replacing the numbers.
logic to swap two numbers without a third variable
Swapping of two numbers in c++
For swapping number first we have 2 numbers and without using third variable we swap numbers by doing a simple mathematical operation (sum and subtract )
1. Add first and second number and store addition in the first variable.
a = a + b
2. Subtract first and second number and store it in the second variable.
b = a – b
3. Subtract first and second number and store it in the first variable.
a = a – b

Output :
Explanation:
1. First Here we initialized the first and second variable.
first —> for storing 1st number
second –>for storing the second number
2. Now here goes the logic(let us take first = 10 and second=20)
first = first + second , Therefore, first =10+20 =30
second = first – second , Therefore second = 30 – 20 =10
first = first – second, Therefore first =30 – 10 = 20
3. Now the values of first and second are 20 and 10
4. The values of first and second are printed.
