swap 3 numbers in c code example

Example 1: swap two numbers in c

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
    double a, b;
    printf("Enter a: ");
    scanf("%lf", &a);
    printf("Enter b: ");
    scanf("%lf", &b);

    // Swapping

    // a = (initial_a - initial_b)
    a = a - b;   
  
    // b = (initial_a - initial_b) + initial_b = initial_a
    b = a + b;

    // a = initial_a - (initial_a - initial_b) = initial_b
    a = b - a;

    printf("After swapping, a = %.2lf\n", a);
    printf("After swapping, b = %.2lf", b);
    return 0;
}

Example 2: c program for swapping of two numbers using temporary variable

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    int a, b, temp;
    printf("enter the values of a and b: \n");
    scanf("%d%d", &a, &b );
    printf("current values are:\n a=%d\n b=%d\n", a, b);
    temp=a;
    a=b;
    b=temp;
    printf("After swapping:\n a=%d\n b=%d\n", a, b);
}
