1) This code takes two integers as input, swaps them if the first is larger than the second, then prints the cubes of all integers in the range from the smaller to the larger number. 2) Hints: - The `if` statement ensures `a` is always the smaller number, making the loop range correct. - The loop uses `i*i*i` to calculate cubes - remember this is equivalent to `pow(i, 3)` but more efficient.
