Challenges

Small integer swapping

+1
−4

In this simple challenge, create a short program that takes 2 ints as input, output them, swap their places, then output them again. Those 2 integers can't be the same number. The program with the shortest solution wins! Loopholes are banned in this challenge.

An example C program for the challenge (mostly ungolfed):

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
	int x, y;
	scanf("%i %i", &x, &y);
	printf("%i %i", x, y);
	int z = x;
	x = y;
	y = z;
	printf("%i %i", x, y);
}

You can make 2 answers in one post: 1 with output swapping, and 1 with variable swapping.

I'd say this counts, because $ is quite literally "swap the top two items on the stack".

Explained

~$","
~$    # Swap the top two items, but peek instead of pop
  ",  # pair and output
    " # pair what remains and output with the `o` flag

But if variables are absolutely needed:

→x→y",←y→temp←x→y←temp→x←y←x"
→x→y                          # put the two inputs into x and y
    ",                        # print [y, x]
      ←y→temp                 # temp = y
             ←x→y             # y = x
                 ←temp→x      # x = temp
                        ←y←x" # print [y, x] (now swapped)
