function swapTwoVariables(a, b) { var temp = a; b = a; a = temp; return [a, b]; }I decided to recover in my mind how it can be done more nicely.
OK, right now I remember four ways (in pseudocode):
1) old good XOR: A = 1, B = 9; A = A xor B; B = A xor B; A = A xor B; 2) suppose we have no XOR in our programming language: A = 1, B = 9; A -= B += A -= B = -B; 3) probably you know the XCHG command 4) in some modern languages we can do: [A, B] = [B, A]Sure, not only Integers can be swapped in such a ways but some other types too.
If you know how to do it some other way, tell me, please.
