#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
char * reverse (char *); //function prototype
int length(char *); //function prptotype
int main()
{
int i;
char *str = new char[6], *rev = new char[6];
cin >> str;
strcpy(rev,reverse(str));
cout <<"Original "<< str << " reverse " << rev << endl;
free(str);
free(rev);
return 0;
}
int length(char *s)
{
int i;
for (i=0; *(s+i)!='\0' ; ++i);
return i;
}
char *reverse(char *s)
{
char *t;
int i, n;
n=length(s);
t = new char[n];
for (i=0; i<n; ++i)
{
*(t+i)=*(s+n-1-i);
}
*(t+i)='\0';
return t;
}
/*based off of answer 8 i took this an intialized the
pointers so that it would run, and switched it over to the
C++ standard output commands. His algorithm was correct, he
just forgot to setup the memory*/

Answer / shivaraj
main()
{
char str[10];
cin>>str;
int len=strlen(str);
reverse(len);
cout<<"Reversed string is: "<<str;
}
void reverse(int len)
{
static int i=0;
str[i]=str[len-1]; //put the char in last pos to first pos
for(j=len-1;j>i;j--)
str[j]=str[j-1]; //shift to right
i++;
if(i==len)
return;
reverse(len);

Answer / boomer
void Rstring( char *str,int len)
{
for(int i = 0; i < (len/2); i++)
{
str[i] ^= str[len-i-1];
str[len-i-1] ^= str[i];
str[i] ^= str[len-i-1];
}
}
int main( void )
{
char str[] = "my string";
printf("Actual string is [%s]\n", str);
Rstring(str,strlen(str));
printf("Reversed string is [%s]\n", str);
}
I dont call this swaping, coz it's not, recursive creates
new incarnations of the reverse func, EXTRA MEMORY BIG
TIME!!!

write a program in c language that uses function to locate and return the smallest and largest integers in an array,number and their position in the array. it should also find and return the range of the numbers , that is , the difference between the largest number and the smallest.

main() { int a,b; printf("%d,%d",scanf("%d%d",&a,&b)); } => do u mean above program's output... =>output will be:2,whatever you enter value for b. =>because scanf is a library fn which will return how many arguements it processes, and second value you are right mr.Satya but i found my self unable to understand that for the first time scanf returns the no of successful matches but how for the second time it returns the value of 'b'.while a function should return the same 'r' value every time.
