from your profile, you are studying Python. Python have a convenient swapping method. age = 5 number = 10 #before swap print(age, number) #to swap, do this: age, number = number, age #after swap print(age, number)

Hi DUFE JUANITA Hint: You can create a new third variable to store any one of two variables.

General method for each programming language is as N B slready mentioned with additional variable and in Python looks like: avar = 1 bvar = 2 # swap tem = avar avar = bvar bvar = tem

You have take temporary variable which will store age at once then number at once.

Depends on the language and logic if you are using python you can just a, b = b , a or you can just create another variable c = a a = b b = c or do this c = b - a a = b - a + a b = b - c

I have dealt with this before, the simpler option is to take advantage of the python syntax, like so: Var1, Var2 = Var2, Var1 This code takes advantage of the python syntax, happy coding!

#include<stdio.h> void (int a, int b); Void(int a,int b) { Int c; a=b; b=c; } Int main() { Int x,y; x=5; y=10; Swap(x,y); printf("after swap:"); return 0; }

#include <stdio.h> int main() { int x, y, *a, *b, temp; printf("Enter the value of x and y\n"); scanf("%d%d", &x, &y); printf("Before Swapping\nx = %d\ny = %d\n", x, y); a = &x; b = &y; // After Swapping:// temp = *b; *b = *a; *a = temp; printf("After Swapping\nx = %d\ny = %d\n", x, y); return 0; } Example : Let x and y be: 45 34 Before Swapping: x=45 y=34 After Swapping: x=34 y=45
