How can I swap two strings without using a third variable in Java?
To swap the contents of two strings (say s1 and s2) without the third.
First of all concatenate the given two strings using the concatenation operator “+” and store in s1 (first string).
s1 = s1+s2;
The substring method of the String class is used to this method has two variants and returns a new string that is a substring of this string. The substring begins with the character at the specified index and extends to the end of this string or up to endIndex – 1, if the second argument is given.
Now using the substring() method of the String class store the value of s1 in s2 and vice versa.
s2 = s1.substring(0,i); s1 = s1.substring(i);
Example
public class Sample { public static void main(String args[]){ String s1 = "tutorials"; String s2 = "point"; System.out.println("Value of s1 before swapping :"+s1); System.out.println("Value of s2 before swapping :"+s2); int i = s1.length(); s1 = s1+s2; s2 = s1.substring(0,i); s1 = s1.substring(i); System.out.println("Value of s1 after swapping :"+s1); System.out.println("Value of s2 after swapping :"+s2); } }
Output
Value of s1 before swapping :tutorials Value of s2 before swapping :point Value of s1 after swapping :point Value of s2 after swapping :tutorials
