Reversing Array in C?

for loop condition should be 'i < n'. and prototype declaration should match.

for loop condition should be 'i < n'. and prototype declaration should match.

and "int n" is the size of array. So "i<=n" would make the same array reversed from end to mid, and again from mid to top. So result is same as array. make "n" as half of the array size.

I think better use macro for this task. In code below it is a macro SWAP.

Content a file main.c

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

// swap values with respect a type it
#ifndef SWAP
    #define SWAP(type, a, b) \
    { \
        type temp = a; \
        a = b; \
        b = temp; \
    }
#endif

    reverseString(str);

    return 0;
}

Compilation as:

gcc std=c11 -I /usr/include/ -o main main.c

Result:

An example reverse for a int array
[1, -2, 3, -4]
[-4, 3, -2, 1]
An example reverse for a float array
[0.100000, -2.120000, 1.300000, -4.200000]
[-4.200000, 1.300000, -2.120000, 0.100000]
An example reverse for a string
Simple text

Notes:

1. Just working
2. Workint with any built-in type
3. Poorly tested and used only the GCC compiler

4. Based on

   4.1 Define a preprocessor macro swap(t, x, y)

   4.2 Reversing an array In place

Not gonna lie, it seems as though you're handling too much in the "reverse function". I personally like to break down my code as much as possible, so that it's easier to find mistakes.

To start, you may want to put the swapping process (for loop) in its own function called "swap". You can do this with char pointers 'a' and 'b' as parameters.
