What is Swap in Assembly Language?

•Swapping is an act of exchanging one thing for another.


•A swap instruction, which exchanges a value in memory with a value of a register, is available on
many architectures.
•The primary application of a swap instruction has been for process synchronization.

How Can we Swap Two Numbers?


•Load first number in register AL through memory.
•Move the content of register AL in register BL.
•Load the second number in register AL through memory.
•Store the content of register AL at the memory location of first number.
•Store the content of register AL at the memory location of second number.
•Terminate the program

Swapping Numbers
The act of swapping two variables refers to mutually exchanging the values of the variables.
Syntax :
MOV AL, [0600]
MOV BL, AL
MOV AL, [0601]
MOV [0600], AL
MOV [0601], BL
HLT
INPUT: 0600:05 0601:04
OUTPUT: 0600:04 0601:05
Swapping Number
•The following code in x86 assembly language uses the xor swap algorithm to swap the value in the
AX register with the value in the BX register without using a temporary buffer.
XOR AX, BX
XOR BX, AX
XOR AX, BX
•However, all x86 microprocessors have an XCHG instruction which does the same work on its
operands more efficiently than the above sequence of XORs.
