Thread: need help with string manipulation.

this code has some bugs Im new to c strings. the code that i have below reverses each word. For example. i entered "house is" it reverses it to "si esuoh" I want it to reverse it by word like "is house".

My other questions since strings are pointers how do I call each one in an array?

here is my code

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>


void reverse(char *sPtr);

int main (void)

{

char sentence[80];

printf( "enter a line of text:\n");

fgets(sentence,80, stdin );

printf("\nThe line printed backwards is\n");
reverse( sentence );

return 0;

}

void reverse ( char *sPtr){

if(sPtr[0] == '\0') {
	return;}

else {
	reverse(&sPtr[1]);
	putchar(sPtr[0]);
}

}

reverse it like tokens?

I would suggest calling your function every time there's a space, and breaking up strings into individual words.
