<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Write a solution to swap all <code>&#39;f&#39;</code> and <code>&#39;m&#39;</code> values (i.e., change all <code>&#39;f&#39;</code> values to <code>&#39;m&#39;</code> and vice versa) with a <strong>single update statement</strong> and no intermediate temporary tables.</p>

<p>Note that you must write a single update statement, <strong>do not</strong> write any select statement for this problem.</p>

<p>The result format is in the following example.</p>
