    another method?

    ok for this exercise i had to put in the entered word into an array and print it backwords... i was able to do it but in a bad way heres my code:

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <string.h>
    
    int main(void)
    {
            char c[20],index,word;
            int i;
    
            printf("Enter a word: ");
            scanf("%s", c);
            word = strlen(c);
            printf("Please enter the word again: ");
            for(i = 0; i <= word; i++)
                    scanf("%c", &c[index]);
            for(i = word; i >= 0; i--)
                    printf("%c", c[i]);
            printf("\n");
            return 0;
    }
    how can i do this without having to enter the word twice?

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <string.h>
    
    int main(void)
    {
            char c[20],index,word;
            int i;
    
            printf("Enter a word: ");
            scanf("&#37;s", c);
            word = strlen(c);
            /*
            printf("Please enter the word again: ");
            for(i = 0; i <= word; i++)
                    scanf("%c", &c[index]);
            */
            for(i = word-1; i >= 0; i--)
                    printf("%c", c[i]);
            printf("\n");
            return 0;
    }
    Why do you have to enter the word twice?
    I copied it from the last program in which I passed a parameter, which would have been pre-1989 I guess. - esbo

    to get its word count. so i know how many times to loop through it and add it into the array.

    I think what NeonBlack was saying is that he commented out part of your code and it works.
    At least if the user's input is sane.
    straight off the heap
