对于可以线性运算的变量,交换两个变量值的做法,通常我们是这样的:
/**
* Swap the parameters with a temp variable.
* @param a The first parameter.
* @param a The second parameter.
*/
void swap(int& a, int& b)
{
int temp = a;
a = b;
b = temp;
}
稍作变化,就可以不通过临时变量实现:
/**
* Swap the parameters without a temp variable.
* Warning! Susceptible to overflow/underflow.
* @param a The first parameter.
* @param a The second parameter.
*/
void swapNoTemp(int& a, int& b)
{
a -= b; // a = a - b
b += a; // b = b + (a - b), b gets the original value of a
a = (b - a); // a = a - (a - b), a gets the original value of b
}
