I am writing some C Code where the user enters the desired string size and then a string which will be reversed then printed (as opposed to being printed in reverse.) I also would like to mention that I don't want to use external libraries, the whole point of this is to be able to do it manually. I used dynamic memory allocation to create a string of a size inputted by the user and called a "Reverse Array" function. Everything works fine until the function is called. My method for reversing the string followed the same principle as reversing a normal array but instead of moving integers around I moved characters around. Can you explain to me what I have done wrong?
My Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int RvsArr(char *Str, int end)
{
int start = 0;
char tmp;
while (start < end)
{
tmp = Str[start];
Str[start] = Str[end];
Str[end] = tmp;
start++;
end--;
}
printf("%s", Str);
return 0;
}
int main()
{
int ArrSz;
printf("Please enter array size: ");
scanf("%i", &ArrSz);
char *Str;
Str = (char *)malloc(ArrSz * sizeof(char));
printf("Please enter your string: ");
scanf("%s", Str);
RvsArr(Str, ArrSz);
free(Str);
return 0;
}
