从两个可能的值向变量分配其他值

假设变量x只能有两个可能的值a和b，并且您希望将x的值分配给它的当前值。无需使用任何条件运算符即可高效地执行此操作。
注意：我们不允许检查x的当前值。
例子：

Input : a = 10, b = 15, x = a 
Output : x = 15 
Explanation x = 10, currently x has value of a (which is 10), we need to change it to 15.
Input : a = 9, b = 11, x = b 
Output : x = 9

我们可以使用if条件解决此问题，但是我们不允许这样做。

if (x == a) 
   x = b;
else x = a;

我们本可以使用Ternary运算符，它还会检查x的当前值，并根据它分配新值。所以我们也不能使用这种方法

x = x == a ? b : a;

但是，我们不允许检查x的值，因此上述解决方案均无效。
解决方案1：仅使用算术运算运算符，我们可以执行此操作

x = a + b - x

这样，x的内容将在每次执行时在a和b之间交替

C++

// CPP program to change value of x
// according to its current value.
#include 
using namespace std;
 
// Function to alternate the values
void alternate(int& a, int& b, int& x)
{
    x = a + b - x;
}
 
// Main function
int main()
{
    int a = -10;
    int b = 15;
    int x = a;
    cout << "x is : " << x;
 
    alternate(a, b, x);
 
    cout << "\nAfter change ";
    cout << "\nx is : " << x;
}

Java

// Java program to change value of x
// according to its current value.
import java.util.*;
 
class solution
{
 
// Function to alternate the values
static void alternate(int a, int b, int x)
{
    x = a + b - x;
    System.out.println("After change"+"\n"+" x is : "+x);
}
 
// Main function
public static void main(String args[])
{
    int a = -10;
    int b = 15;
    int x = a;
    System.out.println("x is : "+x);
    alternate(a, b, x);
}
}

Python3

# Python3 program to change value
# of x according to its current value.
 
# Function to alternate the values
def alternate(a,b,x):
    x = a+b-x
    print("After change x is:",x)
 
 
# Driver code

    a = -10
    b = 15
    x = a
    print("x is:",x)

Javascript

// javascript program to change value of x

    // Function to alternate the values
    function alternate(a , b , x) {
        x = a + b - x;
        document.write("After change" + "<br/>" + " x is : " + x);
    }
 
    // Main function
     
        var a = -10;

        alternate(a, b, x);

输出：

x is : -10
After change 
x is : 15

解决方案2：一种更好，更有效的方法是使用按位XOR操作。
x = a ^ b ^ x

C++

// CPP program to change value of x
// according to its current value.
#include 
using namespace std;
 
// Function to alternate the values
void alternate(int& a, int& b, int& x)
{
    x = a ^ b ^ x;
}
 
// Main function
int main()
{
    int a = -10;
    int b = 15;
    int x = a;
    cout << "x is : " << x;
 
    alternate(a, b, x);
 
    cout << "\nAfter exchange ";
    cout << "\nx is : " << x;
     
    return 0;
}

Java

// Java program to change value of x
// according to its current value.
 
class GFG {
// Function to alternate the values
 
    static int alternate(int a, int b, int x) {
        return x = a ^ b ^ x;
    }
 
// Main function
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int a = -10;
        int b = 15;
        int x = a;
        System.out.print("x is : " + x);
 
        x = alternate(a, b, x);
 
        System.out.print("\nAfter exchange ");
        System.out.print("\nx is : " + x);
 
    }
}
