I am trying to reverse a string character by character. Here is what I have:
The problem is the function only work on the last word because the space character is not copied to wordreverse. Can anyone help me fix it?Code:void reverseString( const char *str, char *wordreverse) { int i, j; for( i = 0, j = strlen(str) - 1; i < j; i++, j--) { wordreverse[i] = str[j]; } }
Thanks

Well.... what exactly are you trying to do? Reverse the characters in each word?
If i have a string list this "this is a wonderful world" the reverse will be "dlrow lufrednow a si siht"
Hmm.... what is the difference between str and wordreverse?
not exactly but my professor doesn't want to change to orginal string so I have to use const char *str. then I can't change the orginal string, the wordreverse is an empty string use to store the reverse string of str.
i will only be less than j for half the string length: something you'd want if you were reversing a string in place through swapping. To create a reversed string you have to step through the string in reverse and copy each character.
Check your condition. i<j is close but not correct.
Edit: Beaten to it.
Oh, I see now. Thank both of you for your comments.
