In Java not with primitive types, and it's not the case of the easy a, b = b, a .... assigning. Create a function that does that.

int a = 3; int b = 2; a = a + b; // 5 b = a - b; // 3 a = a - b; // 2

Ah... actually, it might be possible. I don't think, however, this is what you expected nor useful than using a temporal variable. int a = 3; int b = 2; a = a * 10 + b; // multiplier can be changed b = a / 10; a %= 10; This agly code exactly uses only two variables. that's all.

This is veryyy easy... the code is quite perfect. #include<stdio.h> int main() { int a,b; scanf("%d%d",&a,&b); a=a+b; b=a-b; a=a-b; printf("The answer:%d%d",a,b); return 0; }

Temporal variable is necessary.
