String Reverse Using pointers

steven8Gerrard asked:

Open original thread
I have written a code to reverse the string . It is not working . Is my logic right? How to make it work . I wish to make this one work . I have written using some other logic and it is working . I wish to know how to fix this logic.


C#
#include "stdafx.h"


int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
    char *a="This is Anfield"; //Char string
    char *b;  // Reverse string to be copied here
    int count=0; // Count the length of string
    while(*a!='\0')
    {
        count++;
        a++;
    }
    int len=count+1; // Length of string
    int i,j;
    i=j=0;
    for(i=count;i>=0;i--)
    {
        *(a+count)=*(b+j); //Tail of string will be copied to beginning
        j++;
    }
    printf("\n%s",*b);// Print Reversed String
    return 0;
}



There is some run time error in "char *b" Line..

When answering a question please:
  1. Read the question carefully.
  2. Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
  3. If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
  4. Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.
