Description
This is a(n):
- New algorithm
- Update to an existing algorithm
- Error
- Proposal to the Repository
Details:
The XOR swap algorithm allows two variables to be swapped without using a temporary variable. This is achieved through a series of XOR operations, which manipulate the bits of the numbers involved. The algorithm can be beneficial in scenarios where memory usage is a concern, though it is more of a conceptual approach than a practical one in modern programming due to readability concerns.
The implementation will include:
- A function
**xorSwap(a, b)**
that takes two integers and swaps them using XOR. - Example usage to illustrate how the function works.
- Potential performance considerations compared to traditional swap methods.
This addition will enhance the repository by providing an interesting algorithmic technique that demonstrates the power of bitwise operations.
