Algorithm (Workflow)
This function, flipvar, is a simple utility designed to swap the values of two input variables. It is part of the SolidGeometry library and was introduced in version 1.1. The function is authored by Tim Lueth and is categorized under auxiliary procedures.
Input Parameters
- a: Variable A, which is one of the two variables to be swapped.
- b: Variable B, the second variable to be swapped with Variable A.
Output Results
- b: After execution, this will hold the original value of Variable A.
- a: After execution, this will hold the original value of Variable B.
Algorithm Explanation
The function flipvar operates by temporarily storing the value of the first input variable, a, in a temporary variable x. It then assigns the value of the second input variable, b, to a. Finally, it assigns the value stored in x (originally from a) to b. This effectively swaps the values of a and b.
Example
Consider the following example where a = 4 and b = 5. After calling [b,a] = flipvar(a,b), the values will be swapped such that b = 4 and a = 5.
