Using the XOR swap algorithm to exchange nibbles between variables without the use of temporary storage. In computer programming, the exclusive or swap (sometimes shortened to XOR swap) is an algorithm that uses the exclusive or bitwise operation to swap the values of two variables without using the temporary variable which is normally required.
The simplest and probably most widely used method to swap two variables is to use a third temporary variable: define swap (x, y) temp := x x := y y := temp While this is conceptually simple and in many cases the only convenient way to swap two variables, it uses extra memory.
Temporary variables, along with XOR swaps and arithmetic operators, are one of three main ways to exchange the contents of two variables. To swap the contents of variables "a" and "b" one would typically use a temporary variable temp as follows, so as to preserve the data from a as it is being overwritten by b: temp := a a := b b := temp
One would assume that "swapping a variable with itself" effectively does nothing. The standard, intuitive algorithm that uses a temporary variable indeed comes out that way, but the XOR algorithm will xor the variable with itself, thus setting it to zero instead. But this is wrong. Why don't we let A = B = 5, and see what happens: A := A xor B
In computer science, the standard swap or three point turn [citation needed] is a programming paradigm that exchanges the values of two variables.. By using a third variable, whose value is otherwise of no concern, to hold the value of the first, and then assigning the second's to the first, and the third's back to the second, the values of the first two are swapped.
