swapPoints

Author: Marty Stepp (on 2010/12/28)

Write a method named swapPoints that accepts two Points as parameters and swaps their x/y values. Consider the following example code that calls swapPoints:

Point p1 = new Point(5, 2);
Point p2 = new Point(-3, 6);
swapPoints(p1, p2);
System.out.println("(" + p1.x + ", " + p1.y + ")");
System.out.println("(" + p2.x + ", " + p2.y + ")");

The output produced from the above code should be:

(-3, 6)
(5, 2)
