Answer / siva
You can also do it with the exclusive or bitwise operator...
a = a ^ b;
b = a ^ b; ((a ^ b) ^ b == a)
a = a ^ b; ((a ^ b) ^ a == b)

Answer / sriram
Hey guys, what about swaping variables contains string
values? All of your solutions will suck... Try this and swap
any datatype without third variable... Happy Sensible Coding..
$v = 'sriram';
$u = 'lakshmi';
$v .= $u;
$u = substr($v,0,(strlen($v) - strlen($u)));
$v = substr($v,(strlen($v) - strlen($u)-1), strlen($v));
echo 'u = ' . $u .'<br>';
echo 'v = ' . $v;

Although the jars are labeled “red”, “blue” and “mixed” – all the jars are mislabeled. How many marbles would you have to pull out, and out of which jars, to find out how to fix the labels correctly?
