Java Program to swap two string variables without using third or temp variable

In this program, we need to swap two strings without using a third variable.

Str1: Good Str2: morning

Swapping two strings usually take a temporary third variable. One of the approach to accomplish this is to concatenate given two strings into first string.

Str1Str1 = Str1 + Str2= Goodmorning

Extract string 2 using substring (0, length(string1) - (string2)) i.e. in our case it will be substring(0, (11-4)). It will assign string Good to string 2 which is highlighted by green.

Str2 = Goodmorning

Extract string 1 using substring (length(string2)) i.e. we need to extract string from in length(string2) till end of the string. In our case it will be substring(4). It will assign string morning to string 1 which is highlighted by green.

Str1 = Goodmorning

Algorithm

STEP 1: START
STEP 2: DEFINE Strings str1 = "Good ", str2 = "morning " to swap
STEP 3: PRINT "Strings before swapping " str1, str2
STEP 4: str1 =str1 + str2
STEP 5: EXTRACT str1 from indexes 0 to length (str1) - (str2) using substring function and store it in str2.
STEP 6: EXTRACT str1 from index length(str2) till end using substring function and store it in str1.
STEP 7: PRINT "Strings after swapping " str1, str2.
STEP 8: END

public class SwapStrings { public static void main(String[] args) { String str1 = "Good ", str2 = "morning "; System.out.println("Strings before swapping: " + str1 + " " + str2); //Concatenate both the string str1 and str2 and store it in str1 str1 = str1 + str2; //Extract str2 from updated str1 str2 = str1.substring(0, (str1.length() - str2.length())); //Extract str1 from updated str1 str1 = str1.substring(str2.length()); System.out.println("Strings after swapping: " + str1 + " " + str2); } }
