The Java Program To Swap Two Numbers

The document provides two Java programs for swapping two numbers: one using three variables and the other using two variables. The first method employs a temporary variable to hold one value during the swap, while the second method uses arithmetic operations to achieve the swap without a third variable. Both programs include user input and output the swapped values.

The Java program to swap two numbers, first using three variables and then using two variables:

1. Using Three Variables

java

Copy code

import java.util.Scanner;

public class SwapUsingThreeVariables {

public static void main(String[] args) {

// Create a scanner object for input

Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);

// Input two numbers

System.out.print("Enter first number: ");

int a = scanner.nextInt();

System.out.print("Enter second number: ");

int b = scanner.nextInt();

// Using third variable to swap

int temp = a; // Store the value of 'a' in 'temp'

a = b; // Assign value of 'b' to 'a'

b = temp; // Assign value of 'temp' (original 'a') to 'b'

// Output the swapped values

System.out.println("After swapping:");

System.out.println("First number: " + a);

System.out.println("Second number: " + b);

// Close the scanner

scanner.close();
}

Explanation:

• A temporary variable temp is used to hold the value of a while the value of b is assigned to a.
Then, the value in temp (which is the original value of a) is assigned to b.

Expected Output:

yaml

Copy code

Enter first number: 5

Enter second number: 10

After swapping:

First number: 10

Second number: 5

2. Using Two Variables

java

Copy code

import java.util.Scanner;

public class SwapUsingTwoVariables {

public static void main(String[] args) {

// Create a scanner object for input

Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);

// Input two numbers

System.out.print("Enter first number: ");

int a = scanner.nextInt();

System.out.print("Enter second number: ");

int b = scanner.nextInt();
// Using arithmetic operations to swap without a third variable

a = a + b; // Step 1: a becomes the sum of a and b

b = a - b; // Step 2: b becomes the original value of a

a = a - b; // Step 3: a becomes the original value of b

// Output the swapped values

System.out.println("After swapping:");

System.out.println("First number: " + a);

System.out.println("Second number: " + b);

// Close the scanner

scanner.close();

Explanation:

• Step 1: Add the values of a and b and store the result in a. Now a holds the sum of both
numbers.

• Step 2: Subtract b from the new value of a to get the original value of a and assign it to b.

• Step 3: Subtract the new value of b (which is the original a) from a to get the original value of b
and assign it to a.

Expected Output:

yaml

Copy code

Enter first number: 5

Enter second number: 10

After swapping:

First number: 10

Second number: 5
