    Such as?
    What have you tried to do so far?

    Can you - for example - print a string out one character at a time forwards?
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    how about
    for ( i = strlen(msg ) ; i >= 0 ; i-- )

    Or try this !

    void main()
    {
    char *alphabet = {" the alphabet"};
    char *coded + {"the alphabet in reverse"};

    char message[50];
    char *m_ptr = message,
    *a_ptr = alphabet,
    *c_ptr = code;

    printf("\nEnter message");
    gets(message);

    while( *m_ptr)
    {
    while( *m_ptr != *a_ptr++ )
    c_ptr++;

    *m_ptr = *c_ptr;
    a_ptr = alphabet;
    c_ptr = code;
    }

    printf("\nthe message was > %s", message);
    }

    Me too, me too! I want to do their homework!!
    [code]
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <string.h>
    int main(void){char b[1024]={0},c;int x,y;fputs("Enter a string:",stdout);fgets(b,1024,stdin);for(x=0,y=str len(b)-1;
    x<strlen(b)>>1;x++){c=b[x];b[x]=b[y-x];b[y-x]=c;}fputs(b,stdout);return!1;}
    [\code]
    Teachers appreciate compact code.
