String Reverse...

[CyberCarsten]

I'm trying to create a string reverser, but the program doesn't read out the result....can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong...

#include <iostream.h>
#include <windows.h>

void main(){
	char TempString[255];
	char TheString[255];
	int StringLen;

	cout<<"Please enter string to reverse: ";
	cin>>TempString;
	StringLen = strlen(TempString);
	
		
	for(int a = 0; a > 255; a++)
    {
		
		TheString[a] = TempString[StringLen - 1];
	}

		
	
	for(int index = 0; index > 255; index++)
	{
		cout<<TheString[a];
	}
}

[hmm]

The following line

// do while a is greater than 255, but a equals zero therefore wouldn’t do anything.

for(int a = 0; a > 255; a++)

should read

for(int a = 0; a < 255; a++)

HTH

hmm

P.S After some thought

#include <iostream.h>
#include <windows.h>

void main(){
char TempString[255];
char TheString[255];
int StringLen;
int a;
int pause;
cout<<"Please enter string to reverse: ";
cin>>TempString;
StringLen = strlen(TempString);


for(int a = 0; a < 255; a++)
{
TheString[a] = TempString[StringLen -a];
}


for(int index = 0; index < StringLen +1 ; index++)
{
cout<<TheString[index];
}
cin >>pause;
}

Thanks!

Now I got the result, but it's not letters...it's just alot of |[]

????

[CyberCarsten]

It works!! Thank you very much!

Have a look at the p.s of my first post ( I was modifying it has you were reading it ). I've changed some other parts



hmm

[CyberCarsten]

It works perfect! Thanks!

[hmm]

Its nice to answer one, rather than always asking them
