string swap in cpp code example

Example 1: swap in cpp

int a{}, b{}, temp{};
cin >> a >> b;

  //===================== METHOD-1
   temp = a;
   a = b;
   b = temp;

  //===================== METHOD-2 ( XOR ^ )
  // example: a^b =  5^7
   a = a ^ b;   // 5^7
   b = a ^ b;   // 5 ^ 7 ^ 7  //5 ( 7 & 7 dismissed)
   a = a ^ b;   // 5 ^ 7 ^ 5  //7 ( 5 & 5 dismissed)

  //===================== METHOD-3  ( swap() )
  swap(a, b);

  cout << "a " << a << endl;
  cout << "b " << b << endl;

Example 2: swap string c++

// swap strings
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

main ()
{
  std::string buyer ("money");
  std::string seller ("goods");

  std::cout << "Before the swap, buyer has " << buyer;
  std::cout << " and seller has " << seller << '\n';

  seller.swap (buyer);

  std::cout << " After the swap, buyer has " << buyer;
  std::cout << " and seller has " << seller << '\n';

  return 0;
}
