# Subtract the swapped bits without temp storage This is more informational than a challenge. You can actually switch 2 variables with the XOR operation ^. XOR works with two arguments. It turns both arguments in their binary representation, and for each bit, returns 1 if they are different, 0 otherwise. Create a function to swap int variables *X* and *Y* _without the use of an additional temporary storage variable_ using _only_ [*XOR bitwise operations*][1]. ## Output - Return the *SUBTRACTION of swapped numbers* by [*XOR bitwise operations*][1]. _Example_ ```text XOR(10, 41) ➞ 31 XOR(69, 420) ➞ 351 XOR(12345, 890412) ➞ 878067 XOR(2, 1) ➞ -1 ``` ## Notes - The swap operation needs to be done _without the use of an additional temporary storage variable_, using _only_ [*XOR bitwise operations*][1]. ## Constraints - The input numbers *X* and *Y* are positive integers. - The input numbers *X* and *Y* are different from each other.
