🔄 Swap 2 Numbers Puzzle
The puzzle from ISSUE-419 ↗️
To swap two numbers without using a third variable, you can use arithmetic operations. Here’s how you can achieve it:

Let's say you have two variables `a` and `b`:

int a = 5;
int b = 10;

a = a + b; // Step 1: Add a and b and store the result in a
b = a - b; // Step 2: Subtract b from the updated a to get the original value of a and store it in b
a = a - b; // Step 3: Subtract the new b from the updated a to get the original value of a and store it in b
