Purpose:

To exchange the values of two variables.

Any type variable may be swapped (integer, single-precision, double-precision, string), but the two variables must be of the same type or a "Type mismatch" error results.

Examples:

10 A$="ONE ": B$="ALL ": C$="FOR "
20 PRINT A$ C$ B$
30 SWAP A$, B$
40 PRINT A$ C$ B$
RUN
ONE FOR ALL
ALL FOR ONE

Line 30 swaps the values in the A$ and B$ strings.
