CODE SECTION : SWAP TWO NUMBERS WITHOUT USING THIRD VARIABLE IN C

Code

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
int main()
{
int num1,num2;
printf("ENTER TWO NUMBERS \n");
scanf("%d %d",&num1;,&num2;);
printf("FIRST NUMBER = %d \n",num1);
printf("SECOND NUMBER = %d \n",num2);
if(num1>=num2)
{
num1=num1-num2;
num2=num1+num2;
num1=num2-num1;
}
else if(num1<num2)
{
num1=num2-num1;
num2=num1+num2;
num1=num1-num2;
}
printf("SO,AFTER SWAPPING :\n");
printf("FIRST NUMBER = %d \n",num1);
printf("SECOND NUMBER = %d \n",num2);
return 0;
}

Output

ENTER TWO NUMBERS 10 20
FIRST NUMBER = 10
SECOND NUMBER = 20
SO,AFTER SWAPPING :
FIRST NUMBER = 20
SECOND NUMBER = 10

What we did - Our Approach

In this problem,we are supposed to swap the values of two numbers without using a third variable.Swapping means interchanging of values among variables. without using a third variable takes place in three processes :
Let us assume that num1=20 num2=10, hence , num1 is greater than num2

Process 1 : num1=num1-num2 num1=20-10 =&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt; 10 Process 2 : num2=num1+num2 num2=10+10 =&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt; 20 Process 3 : num1=num2-num1; num1=20-10 =&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt; 10 Now num1=10 &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp; num2=20 ,hence numbers are now swapped.
