How to swap two string variables in Java without using a third variable

Question

How do I swap two string variables in Java without using a third variable, i.e. the temp variable?

String a = \"one\"
String b = \"two\"
String temp = null;
temp         


        

Answer 1

For String Method 1:

public class SwapWithoutThirdVar{  
public static void main (String args[]){    
 String s1 ="one";
 String s2 ="two";
 s1= s1+s2;
 s2 = s1.substring(0,(s1.length()-s2.length()));
 s1 = s1.substring(s2.length()); 
 System.out.println("s1 == "+ s1);
 System.out.println("s2 == "+ s2);

}
}

Method 2:

public class SwapWithoutThirdVar
{
public static void main (String[] args) throws java.lang.Exception
 {
 String s1 = "one";            
 String s2 ="two";          
 s1=s2+s1;
 s2=s1.replace(s2,"");
 s1=s1.replace(s2,"");         
 System.out.println("S1 : "+s1); 
 System.out.println("S2 : "+s2);
  }
}

For Integers

public class SwapWithoutThirdVar {

public static void main(String a[]){
    int x = 10;
    int y = 20;       
    x = x+y;
    y=x-y;
    x=x-y;
    System.out.println("After swap:");
    System.out.println("x value: "+x);
    System.out.println("y value: "+y);
}
}
