PHP Tips: Solution to Swap Two Variable Values ​​Without Using a Third Variable

Nov 11, 2016 am 09:14 AM

Foreword

Last time in the article "Detailed Explanation of PHP Bubble Sort Algorithm", I mentioned the basic method of exchanging the values ​​of two variables in PHP. Because I mainly talked about bubble sort, I didn't go into it in depth. So today here we will take a look at how to achieve the purpose of exchanging two variables without using a third variable in PHP.

Text (see code comments for explanation)


1. substr() && strlen()

Code:

<?php
/**
 * 双方变量为字符串时,可用交换方法一
 * 使用substr()结合strlen()两个方法达到交换变量值得目的
 */$a = "This is A"; // a变量原始值$b = "This is B"; // b变量原始值echo &#39;交换之前 $a 的值:&#39;.$a.&#39;, $b 的值:&#39;.$b,&#39;<br>&#39;; // 输出原始值$a .= $b; // 将$b的值追加到$a中
/**
 * $b得到$a值详解:
 *      先通过strlen()分别计算出$a和$b中字符串的长度【此时$a是原始$a和$b的合值】
 *      通过strlen($a)-strlen($b)即可得出原始$a的值长度
 *      在通过substr()方法在合并后的$a中从0开始截取到$a的长度,那么即可得到原始$a的值
 * $a得到$b值详解:
 *      由于此刻$b已经是$a的原始值了,而$a合并后的值为原始$a+原始$b的值,故用substr()在$a中从$b(原始$a)长度位置截取,则去的内容则为原始$b,则将$b值付给$a成功
 */$b  = substr($a,0,(strlen($a)-strlen($b)));$a  = substr($a, strlen($b));echo &#39;交换之后 $a 的值:&#39;.$a.&#39;, $b 的值:&#39;.$b,&#39;<br>&#39;; // 输出结果值
Copy after login

Run result:

交换之前 $a 的值:This is A, $b 的值:This is B
交换之后 $a 的值:This is B, $b 的值:This is A
Copy after login
Copy after login
Copy after login
Copy after login

2. str_replace()

R Code: re
<?php/**
 * 双方变量为字符串时,可用交换方法二
 * 使用str_replace()方法达到交换变量值得目的
 * 此方法较第一种,逻辑上稍微简单点
 */$a = "This is A"; // a变量原始值$b = "This is B"; // b变量原始值echo &#39;交换之前 $a 的值:&#39;.$a.&#39;, $b 的值:&#39;.$b,&#39;<br>&#39;; // 输出原始值$a .= $b; // 将$b的值追加到$a中$b  = str_replace($b, "", $a); // 在$a(原始$a+$b)中,将$b替换为空,则余下的返回值为$a$a  = str_replace($b, "", $a); // 此时,$b为原始$a值,则在$a(原始$a+$b)中将$b(原始$a)替换为空,则余下的返回值则为原始$b,交换成功echo &#39;交换之后 $a 的值:&#39;.$a.&#39;, $b 的值:&#39;.$b,&#39;<br>&#39;; // 输出结果值
Copy after login
E

Run results:

交换之前 $a 的值:This is A, $b 的值:This is B
交换之后 $a 的值:This is B, $b 的值:This is A
Copy after login
Copy after login
Copy after login
Copy after login

3, list () && list ()


code:

<?php/**
 * 双方变量为字符串时,可用交换方法三
 * 使用list()和array()方法达到交换变量值得目的
 * 此方法较第一、二种,代码最简洁
 */$a = "This is A"; // a变量原始值$b = "This is B"; // b变量原始值echo &#39;交换之前 $a 的值:&#39;.$a.&#39;, $b 的值:&#39;.$b,&#39;<br>&#39;; // 输出原始值list($b,$a) = array($a,$b); // list() 函数用数组中的元素为一组变量赋值。了解这个,相信其他的不用我多说了吧echo &#39;交换之后 $a 的值:&#39;.$a.&#39;, $b 的值:&#39;.$b,&#39;<br>&#39;; // 输出结果值
Copy after login

Run results:

交换之前 $a 的值:This is A, $b 的值:This is B
交换之后 $a 的值:This is B, $b 的值:This is A
Copy after login
Copy after login
Copy after login
Copy after login
E





code:
<?php/**
 * 双方变量为字符串或者数字时,可用交换方法四
 * 使用异或运算
 */$a = "This is A"; // a变量原始值$b = "This is B"; // b变量原始值echo &#39;交换之前 $a 的值:&#39;.$a.&#39;, $b 的值:&#39;.$b,&#39;<br>&#39;; // 输出原始值/**
 * 原始二进制:
 * $a:010101000110100001101001011100110010000001101001011100110010000001000001
 * $b:010101000110100001101001011100110010000001101001011100110010000001000010
 * 
 * 下面主要使用按位异或交换,具体请参照下列给出的二进制过程,
 */$a=$a^$b; // 此刻$a:000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000011$b=$b^$a; // 此刻$b:010101000110100001101001011100110010000001101001011100110010000001000001$a=$a^$b; // 此刻$a:010101000110100001101001011100110010000001101001011100110010000001000010echo &#39;交换之后 $a 的值:&#39;.$a.&#39;, $b 的值:&#39;.$b,&#39;<br>&#39;; // 输出结果值
Copy after login

Running result:

交换之前 $a 的值:This is A, $b 的值:This is B
交换之后 $a 的值:This is B, $b 的值:This is A
Copy after login
Copy after login
Copy after login
Copy after login

5. Add (+) minus (-) operator

🎜🎜🎜Code: 🎜
<?php/**
 * 双方变量为数字时,可用交换方法五
 * 使用加减运算符,相当于数学运算了^_^
 */$a = "This is A"; // a变量原始值$b = "This is B"; // b变量原始值echo &#39;交换之前 $a 的值:&#39;.$a.&#39;, $b 的值:&#39;.$b,&#39;<br>&#39;; // 输出原始值$a=$a+$b; // $a $b和值$b=$a-$b; // 不解释..$a=$a-$b; // 不解释..echo &#39;交换之后 $a 的值:&#39;.$a.&#39;, $b 的值:&#39;.$b,&#39;<br>&#39;; // 输出结果值
Copy after login
🎜Running result: 🎜🎜
交换之前 $a 的值:1, $b 的值:2交换之后 $a 的值:2, $b 的值:1
Copy after login
🎜🎜Summary🎜🎜ok, the above is almost the same in php There are no methods of exchanging the values ​​of two variables without the help of a third variable. Of course, there must be a better way, and I am just trying to inspire others here. 🎜🎜In the end, they are all small algorithms, and you can study them yourself when you have time. 🎜

Explain secure password hashing in PHP (e.g., password_hash, password_verify). Why not use MD5 or SHA1? Explain secure password hashing in PHP (e.g., password_hash, password_verify). Why not use MD5 or SHA1? Apr 17, 2025 am 12:06 AM

In PHP, password_hash and password_verify functions should be used to implement secure password hashing, and MD5 or SHA1 should not be used. 1) password_hash generates a hash containing salt values ​​to enhance security. 2) Password_verify verify password and ensure security by comparing hash values. 3) MD5 and SHA1 are vulnerable and lack salt values, and are not suitable for modern password security.

How does PHP type hinting work, including scalar types, return types, union types, and nullable types? How does PHP type hinting work, including scalar types, return types, union types, and nullable types? Apr 17, 2025 am 12:25 AM

PHP type prompts to improve code quality and readability. 1) Scalar type tips: Since PHP7.0, basic data types are allowed to be specified in function parameters, such as int, float, etc. 2) Return type prompt: Ensure the consistency of the function return value type. 3) Union type prompt: Since PHP8.0, multiple types are allowed to be specified in function parameters or return values. 4) Nullable type prompt: Allows to include null values ​​and handle functions that may return null values.
