How to Exchange two variables without any third variable?

Exchange two variable without third variable

This looks very tricky but not very hard to think a logic for this. Let say we have two variables A and B. Now we can add them and store in A. At this point A contains value of A plus B i.e. A = A + B. Now say subtract B from it (A - B). We can get value of A and store it in B i.e. B = A - B. Now B contains value of A. We are almost half done. Now subtract B from it which is actually contains value of A to get the value of B in A i.e. A = A - B. We are done exchange these two. Let construct a C program.

Output

A = 2, B = 1
Exchanging A <> B
A = 1, B = 2

A = -2, B = -1
Exchanging A <> B
A = -1, B = -2
