Here you go: x=x^y^z; y=x^y^z; z=x^y^z; x=x^y^z;

And here's the code example: #include <iostream> using namespace std; void swap(int x, int y, int z) { x=x^y^z; y=x^y^z; z=x^y^z; x=x^y^z; cout<<x<<endl<<y<<endl<<z; } int main() { int x=1, y=2, z=3; swap(x, y, z); return 0; }

You can use XOR (exclusive or). example code: x = x XOR y XOR z; y = x XOR y XOR z; z = x XOR y XOR z; x = x XOR y XOR z;

Swapping values are easy, but I'm not familiar with using bitwise operators. May need someone better to come across this thread.
