Challenge: Swap the Numbers

Let’s practice coding with pointers in this challenge.

We'll cover the following

Problem statement

Fix the following function so that the values of the arguments that are passed to it are swapped.

For this exercise, do not specify the parameters as ref, but take them as pointers.

void swap(int lhs, int rhs) { 
    int temp = lhs;
    lhs = rhs;
    rhs = temp; 
}

Input

int i = 1; 
int j = 2;

Output

i = 2
j = 1
