Thread: Help with strings

I am working on a project, and need to display a string backwards. I have gotten it to where it will display the last letter in the string, "num" times, and "num" equals the length of the string. The problem I am having is it only shows the last number. Here is my instructions on this part.

"Using a loop and the square-bracket [] notation to access each individual character in the string, display the string backwards (last character in the string first, next to last, etc). Remember that the character positions in a string are numbered starting with 0, so the first position in the string would be stringname[0], while the last position in the string would be stringname[stringname.length()-1]. Also remember that individual positions in a string can be referenced using integer variables, such as an integer counter for a loop that goes from stringname.length()-1 down to 0."

This is what I have so far:

Code:

counter = 0;
do {
  counter++;
  cout << Char[Char.length()-1];
} while (counter < num);

Any help would be appreciated, I just need to get pointed in the right direction and it should come fairly easy. Thanks!

Sure, you're never changing which character gets printed. Always the last one, in this case.

Okay, that makes sense? But am I on the right track? I cant for the life of me figure out how to change the character that is being printed.

Thanks for the replies! Got it all figured out
