I don't understand the logic behind swapping without temp var, plz help.

Swapping with temp is clear to me, but not without it. Plz enlighten me :) https://code.sololearn.com/c32oZAA2T3Zd/?ref=app

x = x + y; y = x - y; x = x - y; it's a simple subtraction. suppose x=3 and y = 5 x = 3 + 5 // x is now 8 y = 8 - 5 // y is now 3 the value of x before x = 8 - 3 // x is now 5 the value of y whenever something like this is confusing you just do a substitution of the variables may be you are confused because you think that: x = 3 x = 3 + 5 it's not equivalent to 3 = 3 +5 the = sign is an assignment operator not equal. could be wrong if so what confused you?
