Printing String in reverse order

I want to print all the characters (including spacing and special characters) in a sring in reverse order. But the program fail to do it. :confused


Can anyone tell me what's wrong in my program?? am i use the wrong sequence?
Thank you so much.

# include <stdio.h>

char string[80]; //global variable

void main()
{
char s;

int i=0, num = 0, item=0;

printf ("String : ");
scanf ("%[^\n]", string);

while (s = (string[i]) != '\0')
{
num++;
i++;
};

printf ("num = %d\n", num);

for (i= num-1; string[i] <= 0;i--)
{
string[item] = string[i];
item++;
}

printf ("\nString Reverse = %s \n", string);

#include <iostream.h>
#include <string.h>

void main()
{

char string[]= "The Hello World sentence!";

cout << "Before: "<<string<<endl;

_strrev(string);

cout << "After: "<<string<<endl;


}

so, in few words- use _strrev(string_name) from the string.h library

Ahhhh! loobian..... C++ in the C forum again .

ok ling.............

declare two strings say

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

void main()
{
char my_str[11] = "new string";
char new_str[11];
int i, j;

for(i = 0, j = strlen(my_str) - 1; j >= 0; i++, j--)
      new_str[ i ] = my_str[ j ];
new_str[i]= '\0'; /*add null char*/

printf("%s reversed is %s", my_str, new_str);
}

Thanks bigtamscot, now I know how to do printing the string in reverse order without using strrev();

you solved the problem that i tried for one whole night..(how stupid I am..)

Hi, Salem, what are the different between using void main() and main() (return 0).....

will it cause any problem???? Thank you.
:confused:

#include "stdio.h"

int main() // int main, void main, blah blah blah all the same to me
{
// Declare a char type var.
char string[1024];

// Get input from user
printf("\nType something: ");
gets(string);

// Show user what was typed originally
printf("\n\nYou typed, %s",string);

// My little way of getting the number of characters in a string
int i = 0;
while(string[i] != 0){ // 0 or NULL, whatever
i++;
}
// i, now equals how many chars were into 'string'

// Reverse string
printf("\n-Reversed, ");
int idx;
for(idx = 0;idx < i;){
i--; // I place this here instead of in the for loop,
// because the for loop will subtract 1 from i
// before 'string' can even begin to print, thus
// the last char will not be printed.
printf("%c", string[i]);
}
printf("\n\n");

return 0;
}

>ling I want to print all the characters (including spacing and special >characters) in a sring in reverse order. But the program fail to do it. >:confused

another approach using recursion

#include <stdio.h>

void printrev(char *s)
{
if(*s)
{
printrev(s+1);
putchar(*s);
}
}

int main(void)
{
printrev("a man a plan a canal panama");
putchar('\n');
printrev("rest");
putchar('\n');
printrev("pest");
return 0;
}

Thanks knave and pinko_liberal. ^_^

I know how to doing the reverse priting in many ways now.

void main is wrong - plain and simple
int main is right.

There is always that possibility when you do something wrong.
The simple excuse of 'it seems to work' doesn't wash in the long run, because sooner or later, most things you do wrong will bite (and you've got some unlearning to do).

You guys are doing this the hard way.

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>

void printStringRev( char *s )
{
  if( s && *s )
  {
      printStringRev( s+1 );
      fputc( *s, stdout );
  }
}

int main( void )
{
  char buf[1024]={0};
  puts("Enter some text:");
  fgets( buf, 1024, stdin );
  printStringRev( buf );
  return 0;
}

ehhh ,why ? Why I think my program and yours are exactly the same except that your program tests for s being NULL also .

Thank you salem.
:)

Ya, Pinko, I didn't see yours when I wrote mine. It's possible we started them at similar times. (Or perhaps I just missed it.)

No problem ling.

/* Hi my name is Rahat and i think i am able to solve your problem. EnJoY......*/

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(void)
{
clrscr();
char *string;
int str_len;

printf ("Enter a string: ");
gets(string);

str_len=strlen(string);
printf ("Here is the result....:\n");
for(int i=str_len;i>=0;i--)
printf("%c",string[i]);

getch();
return 0;
}
