How to swap two string variables in Java without using a third variable

Question

How do I swap two string variables in Java without using a third variable, i.e. the temp variable?

String a = \"one\"
String b = \"two\"
String temp = null;
temp         


        

Answer 1

Do it like this without using a third variable:

String a = "one";
String b = "two";

a = a + b;
b = a.substring(0, (a.length() - b.length()));
a = a.substring(b.length());

System.out.println("a = " + a);
System.out.println("b = " + b);
