    return num;
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Scanner SC = new Scanner(System.in);

    byte num = 0;
    byte res = 0;

    System.out.printf("Enter number: ");
    num = SC.nextByte();

    res = swapTwoNibbles(num);

    System.out.printf("\nNumber after swapping nibbles : %d\n", res);
  }
}

Output:

Enter number: 64

Number after swapping nibbles : 4

Explanation:

In the above program, we imported the "java.util.Scanner" package to read input from the user. And, created a public class Main. It contains two static methods swapTwoNibbles() and main().

The swapTwoNibbles() method is used to swap two nibbles of a given byte using bitwise operators and return the result to the calling method.
