help with logic of array that moves elements over 1 time to the right

**karodhill** · 10-19-2017

Im trying to make a program that shifts all my elements of array to the right by one and move the last element
into the first position.how do i move the last number out then shift over by 1 and then put the last number back first? here is my code

Code:

  #include <stdio.h>
 
 
        int main ()
          {
            int array[6];
             int x;
             int temp;
       
           printf("Enter six numbers.\n\n");


// ---------- gets numbers from user -------------------          
              for(x = 0; x < 6; x++) {
                  printf ("Enter a number : ", x+1);
                  scanf ("%d",&array[x]);
             }
         
// ----------------- move the last guy out -------------------
                   
          
        
// ----------------- shift everybody over ---------------------      
       for(x = 6; x > 0; x--)
        {
               array[x]=array[x-1];
        }
// ------------------  put the last guy back into the first one ------            
            
        
     
       
       
// --------------------  print the array contents -------------------       
       for(x = 0; x < 6; x++)
       {
           
            printf("%d\n", array[x]);
           
       }
       
 
         return 0;
}

You need

temp = array[5];

Then you do your shuffling along

then
array[0] = temp;

The title specifies it. The code too.

well this is what I got

Code:

userx@slackwhere:~/bin
$ ./array_shift
Enter six numbers.

Enter a number : 1
Enter a number : 2
Enter a number : 3
Enter a number : 4
Enter a number : 5
Enter a number : 6
 
6
1
2
3
4
5

if that is the only criteria then mine should get me a passing grade.

Code:

userx@slackwhere:~/bin
$ ./array_shift
Enter six numbers.

Enter a number : 8
Enter a number : 7
Enter a number : 6
Enter a number : 5
Enter a number : 4
Enter a number : 3
3
8
7
6
5
4
