Function that swap two numbers

Hi i need a function that swap 2 numbers I have written code below but it seems to doesn't work. Where am I wrong?

(int, int) Swap(int first, int second)
{
    int temp = first;
    first = second;
    second = temp;
    return (first, second);
}

int a = 5;
int b = 10;

Console.WriteLine(a);
Console.WriteLine(b);
Swap(a, b);
Console.WriteLine(a);
Console.WriteLine(b);

(int, int) Swap(int first, int second)
{
    int temp = first;
    first = second;
    second = temp;
    return (first, second);
}

int a = 5;
int b = 10;

Console.WriteLine(a);
Console.WriteLine(b);
Swap(a, b);
Console.WriteLine(a);
Console.WriteLine(b);

you never used what the method returned

Swap returns a new tuple, it doesn't modify a nor b a and b will always be 5 and 10 respectively.

I wouldn't even make a function for this

yeah (b, a) = (a,b)

int a = 3;
int b = 5;
Console.WriteLine(a);
Console.WriteLine(b);
(a, b) = (b, a);
