char a[26];
int len;
clrscr();

gets(a);
len=strlen(a);
reverse(a,len);
getch();
}
void reverse(char * a,int len)
{
if(len==0)
printf("%c",a[len]);
else
{
printf("%c",a[len]);
reverse(a,len-1);
}

Answer / d g patel

/* Following code does as intended */
#include <stdio.h>

#define REVERSE_STRING(X) Rstring(X, *(X), strlen(X)-1)

void Rstring( char *str, char c, int index )
{
if( index != 0 )
Rstring( str, *(str+(strlen(str))-index),
index-1);
*(str+index) = c;
}

int main( void )
{
char str[] = "Dharmendra Patel";
printf("Actual string is [%s]\n", str);
REVERSE_STRING(str);
printf("Reversed string is [%s]\n", str);
return 0;
}

Answer / prakash

Another version that actually reverses the string...

#include <stdio.h>

char *reverse(char *sstr, char *str, char c)
{
if (*str == '\0')
return sstr;

sstr = reverse(sstr, str+1, *(str+1));

*sstr = c;

return (sstr+1);
}

int main()
{
char str[100];

printf("Enter the string: ");
scanf("%s", str);

reverse(str, str, *(str + 0));
printf("Reversed string: %s\n", str);

return 1;
}

int recreverse (char szStr[], int nSize, int i)

// printf ("\n %d - %s ", i, szStr);

if (i < nSize /2)
{
szStr[i] ^= szStr[nSize -(i + 1)];
szStr[nSize -(i + 1)] ^= szStr[i];
szStr[i] ^= szStr[nSize -(i + 1)];

recreverse (szStr, nSize, ++i);
}
else
return;

}

int main()

char szStr[256];
int nSize,i;
char cChar;
// int nHash[26] = {0};

printf("\n Enter the character : ");
