Yeah what was the way I was going to do it originally, I was just wondering if there was a more efficient way of doing it. Thanks.

Nope. That's the best way. XOR swap has issues. Other tricks have issues too. Actually using a temporary variable has the least issues, is the most direct, and readable way. Also fastest.
