You can do it with some XORs:int a = 25, b = 7;a = a ^ b;b = b ^ a;a = a ^ b;Or the same thing with some shorthand to make the code even harder to read:a ^= b;b ^= a;a ^= b;

That conclusion is definitely wrong. Your equation expanded equals: b = (a+b) - (a-b) = a+b - a + b = 2*bFor your example a=20, b=10b = (20+10) - (20-10) = (30) - (10) = 20b = 20 + 10 - 20 + 10 = 20A counter example to disprove this: a=75, b=88b = (75+88) - (75-88) =...

An individual human existence should be like a river - small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past boulders and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being.

A neighbor promised to show me the first computer in the city if I detail his motorbike. He let me in and I stayed forever. I learned how to tame the beast. I was 14.

A few years later I figured out how to sqeeze hydrological/hydraulic models into 8K memory. The models were used on big rivers including Indus River, Yamuna River, Danube River. The version in Pakistan (that I later converted from FORTRAN to C) is still in use. Over 30 years and still running.

6 days took my book Word of Computers (in Slovak language) to completely sell out.

Annual LEGO price was awarded to an institute led by me for our work in education. Money went to charity, I still have the tie.

Spent years in consulting. Project rescue is a smokejumper's job. I saved a bunch of hoplessly failing projects in areas of procurement, recruitment, check image scanning and ICR, business risk evaluation.

15 months took my latest SAAS application to earn million dollars.
