Or is this about swapping the values of two variables without using a third?


For numeric types:
int i = 1;
int j = 2;
i = i + j;
j = i - j;
i = i - j


Also works for a mix of positive and negative numbers.

For characters:
char y = 'a';
char z = 'b';
y = (char)((int)y+(int)z);
z = (char)((int)y-(int)z);
y = (char)((int)y-(int)z);

You can use the same general approach with characters by casting them to int first. For strings:
string a = "Hello";
string b = "World";
a = a + b; 
b = a.Substring(0,a.Length - b.Length); 
a = a.Substring(b.Length);
