Interview preparation journey

Journey
I’ve applied for and been selected in many job opportunities, but this was a particularly fast experience for me. I applied for this role around the beginning of September, and by September 27th, I was already in the office. The process started with an objective-based test. After that, the shortlisted candidates went through a combined coding and interview round.
Application story
I was looking for a job in IT as a developer when I found a suitable opening and applied for it. I received a test link the next day, and the interview was scheduled a week later.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
I was selected mainly because I answered almost all the questions, and for the ones I didn’t know, I admitted it upfront instead of making things up.

Given two variables ‘X’ and ‘Y’. Your task is to swap the number without using a temporary variable or third variable.

Swap means the value of ‘X’ and ‘Y’ must be interchanged. Take an example ‘X’ is 10 and ‘Y’ is 20 so your function must return ‘X’ as a 20 and ‘Y’ as a 10.

Example:
Input: Given a sequence of five numbers 2, 4, 5, 6, 8.

Output:  6

Explanation:
In the given sequence of numbers, number 8 is the largest element, followed by number 6 which is the second-largest element. Hence we return number 6 which is the second-largest element in the sequence.
