In data science, machine learning, and other quantitative data fields, it is important to enhance your data structure concepts. Swapping variables becomes a crucial step whenever we are working with a model that requires swapping specific values. This tutorial will dive in on how we can trade two variables in Python using five straightforward and applicable methods.
a. Using a Temporary Variable:
In this program, we will use the temp variable to temporarily hold the value of the variable x. After that, we will put the value of the variable yin the variable x. Then, we will use put the value of the variable temp to variable y. In this way, the values of our variables will get swapped.
Important Note:
We can swap integers, floats, or strings variables in this way.
b. Using the Comma Operator:
We can swap variables hassle-free using the comma (,) operator in python. It uses a single line code (x,y = y,x) to swap the values.
Important Note:
We can swap integers, floats, or strings variables in this way.
