using string in arrays

[esi]

i am trying to make a program that takes a string as an input from the user and then prints it in reverse order. but i'm having some problems. here is the source code that i wrote:

#include <stdio.h>
int main ()
{
	char a[10];
	int i;

	for (i=0;i<10;i++)
	{
			printf("Enter a String:\n");
			scanf("%c",&a[i]);
	}
		printf("You entered: %c\n",a[i]);
	
		for (i=9;i>=0;1--)
	{
			printf("The reverse is: %c",a[i]);
	}
}

the first for loop is going to ask the user to enter a string 10 times
I think you want somthing more like

        printf("Enter a String:\n");
        scanf("%s",a);

the second printf is printing the 9th char in the string
try

        printf("You entered: %s\n",a);

the second for loop should be

       printf("reverse:");
        for (i=strlen(a);i>=0;i--)
        {
                printf("%c",a[i]);
        }
        printf("\n");

the faq has good examples of getting strings from users I believe, try looking there for how to do this correctly

i=strlen(a);

a[i] will be null

not if I edit really quickly

your right my mistake, shove a -1 in there too
