    thank you.

    Can you explain the working of the program please?

      Here is what I did in swapping two numbers.

      First, I make a variable called 'temp' which acts a medium for swapping. Then I store the value of x(i.e., my first variable) in temp.

      Then what I do is, I store the value of y in x(I have no problem in losing the value of x here because I already have it safe in my temp variable)

      Now i simply give the value of temp to y.

      You may try doing this

      x=x+y-(y=x);

      Here x and y are the two variables which are to be swapped.
