Thread: Character shift program need some assistance

I am trying to write this shift function to print 5 times with a result of bcdea, cdeab, deabc, eabcd, abcde,,, I cannot get the function to work. Please point out my error... thanks in advance...

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
char shift(char *p1, char *p2, char *p3, char *p4, char *p5);
{
	char c1='A',c2='B',c3='C',c4='D',c5='E';
	int count=0;
	printf("%c%c%c%c%c\n",c1,c2,c3,c4,c5); 
	while(count <= 4)
	{
		shift(&c1,&c2,&c3,&c4,&c5);
		printf("%c%c%c%c%c\n",c1,c2,c3,c4,c5);
		count++;
	}
	return 0;
}

char shift(char *p1, char *p2, char *p3, char *p4, char *p5)
{
	char temp;
	temp = *p5;
	*p5 = *p4;
	*p4 = *p3;
	*p3 = *p2;
	*p2 = *p1;
	*p1 = temp;
}
