Problem
Given two string variables a and b, swap these variables without using temporary or third variable in Java. Use of library methods is allowed.
Solutions
We can use the String Split method and a separator to separating two string. We can also do this by using the substring method. Code below implement both the solutions.public class SwapWithoutVar { public static void main(String[] args) { String a = "Hello"; String b = "World"; //Using String Split SwapWithSplit(a, b); //Using String Substring SwapWithSubString(a, b); } private static void SwapWithSubString(String a, String b) { System.out.println(String.format("Before Swap : a - %s, b - %s", a, b)); b = a + b; a = b.substring( b.indexOf(a) + a.length()); b = b.substring(0, b.indexOf(a)); System.out.println(String.format("After Swap : a - %s, b - %s", a, b)); } private static void SwapWithSplit(String a, String b) { System.out.println(String.format("Before Swap : a - %s, b - %s", a, b)); b = b + "," + a; a = b; b = b.split(",")[1]; a = a.split(",")[0]; System.out.println(String.format("After Swap : a - %s, b - %s", a, b)); } }
