Abstract
Examples of the present disclosure provide apparatuses and methods related to performing swap operations in a memory. An example apparatus might include a first group of memory cells coupled to a first sense line and configured to store a first element. An example apparatus might also include a second group of memory cells coupled to a second sense line and configured to store a second element. An example apparatus might also include a controller configured to cause the first element to be stored in the second group of memory cells and the second element to be stored in the first group of memory cells by controlling sensing circuitry to perform a number operations without transferring data via an input/output (I/O) line.
