Swap two numbers using bitwise operator in java

In previous program we have learned how to program For nth Fibonacci Number in Java . In this article we will see how to swapping of two numbers without using third variable in java . We can swap two numbers in java using bitwise xor operator . Bitwise operator(^)  num1^num2 return 1 if corresponding bits are not equal otherwise return 0.

Now we will write a java program to swap two numbers without using third variable . We can swap two numbers in java using as

a = a^b

b = a^b

a=a^b

Let’s write a program to swap two numbers using bitwise xor operator in java.

public class SwapNumberUsingBitOperator {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		int i = 6;
		int j = 4;
		System.out.println("Before swap i=" + i + "j=" + j);
		i = i ^ j;
		j = i ^ j;
		i = i ^ j;
		System.out.println("After Swap i=" + i + "j=" + j);
	}

}

Output :

Before swap i=6j=4
After Swap i=4j=6

In this program we have swap two numbers without using a temporary variable .
