Given two numbers x and y. We have to write a Java Program to Swap the contents of two numbers using Bitwise XOR Operation.
Input 1: x = 5, y = 10 Output : x = 10, y = 5 Explanation : 1. x = x ^ y -> x = 15 2. y = x ^ y -> y = 5 3. x = x ^ y -> x = 10 Input 2: x = 15, y = 20 Output : x = 20, y = 15
The bitwise XOR operator(represented by ^) compares corresponding bits of two operands and returns 1 if they are equal and 0 if they are not equal.  Let’s say we have two numbers x and y, so what actually x^y will do is that it will compare every corresponding bit of x and y, and if they are different, it will generate 1 as the output of that two bits(one of x and one of y)  taken into consideration and if bits are same, then it will generate 0 as the output of two bits.
Below is the code implementation of the above approach:-
Java
// Java program to swap the elements using XOR Operatorimport java.io.*;class GFG {Â Â Â Â public static void main(String[] args)Â Â Â Â {Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â int x = 5, y = 10;Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â // binary equivalent of 5 is 0101Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â // binary equivalent of 10 is 1010Â
        // binary equivalent of x will become 1111 ie x=15        x = x ^ y;        // binary equivalent of y will become 0101 ie y=5        y = x ^ y;        // binary equivalent of x will become 1010 ie x=10        x = x ^ y;        System.out.println("The value of x is " + x                           + " and the value of y is " + y);    }} |
Output
The value of x is 10 and the value of y is 5
