https://leetcode.com/problems/swap-salary/description/
Given a table salary
, such as the one below, that has m=male and f=female values. Swap all f and m values (i.e., change all f values to m and vice versa) with a single update query and no intermediate temp table.For example:
| id | name | sex | salary | |----|------|-----|--------| | 1 | A | m | 2500 | | 2 | B | f | 1500 | | 3 | C | m | 5500 | | 4 | D | f | 500 |
After running your query, the above salary table should have the following rows:
| id | name | sex | salary | |----|------|-----|--------| | 1 | A | f | 2500 | | 2 | B | m | 1500 | | 3 | C | f | 5500 | | 4 | D | m | 500 |
Solution: XOR
1 2 3 |
