A way to swap variables?

Does VB provide an easy way to swap the contents of 2 variables without having to use an intermediate variable Thanks...

Vestra

x ^= y;
y ^= x;
x ^= y;
will swap x and y.

That's in C#. Not sure how to do the exclusive-or operator in VB. I'm sure someone else does though.

once i saw a blog did that in C# using binary shifting operators but unfortunatly i don't remember the link

best regards

Well I made a quick function that works fine for me...

Public Sub Swap(ByRef x, ByRef y)

xx = y : yy = x

x = xx : y = yy

End Sub

That works fine for me xD Hope this helped :P

In VB you can define your own functions.

No, not that I know of,

you'll need to write a simple function to do that.

I was really hoping for a Swap(x,y) command or something similar. I seem to recall other languages having this functionality.

Use a stack!

Dim x As Integer = 1

Dim y As Integer = 9

Dim myStack As New Stack()

myStack.Push(x)

myStack.Push(y)

x = myStack.Pop()

y = myStack.Pop

MsgBox("x, dim'ed as 1 is now " & x)

MsgBox("y, dim'ed as 9 is now " & y)
