Thread: array copying

im trying to store my reverse array and call it back in main then print it out in main but it in the reverse function, the temp wont copy into the a array.
Why?
in the reverse function if i do a for loop and printf whats stored in the temp array then its the reverse of what the input is, however when i try to copy the temp array into the a array then print it out in main, it just prints out the input string. Its as if no copying has been done.

what have i done wrong?

Code:

void reverse( char a[] )
{
	int i;
	int n=0;
	char temp[SIZE];

	for( i=strlen(a); i >= 0; i--) {
		temp[n] = a[i];
		n++;
	}
	temp[n] = '\0';

	strcpy( a, temp );
}

damn that sucked

thanks for that
