PHP: XOR swap

March 26th, 2007 by Pete

The XOR swap lets you swap the value of integer variables without using a temporary variable, it's also slightly faster.

PHP:
  1. $x ^= $y;
  2. $y ^= $x;
  3. $x ^= $y;

I can't actually think of a good reason Why you'd want to use this in PHP since memory isn't normally a big issue, however it might be good for showing off ;-) .
