Character array

[FohTwin]

Hello, I'm trying to get a word/sentance as input, save each character into an array, then output it backwards.

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{	
	char word[255];
	int count = 0;
	
	cout >> "enter a word: ";
	while(cin.get(word))
	{
		count++;
	}
	
	while(count > 0)
	{
		cout >> word[count];
		count--;
	}
}

That's the idea of what I'm getting at, we haven't learned most of this stuff yet in class, just doing this for fun and practice.

here is the way I would do it. There are probably much better/efficient ways, but I am still a beginner myself, so its the best I can come up with.

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{	
	char word[255];
	int count = 0;
	
	cout << "enter a word: ";
	gets(word);
	
	cout << '\n';
	count = strlen(word)-1;
	for(int b=0; b<=count;b++) cout << word[b];
	
	cout << '\n';
	
	for(int a=count; a>=0; a--) cout << word[a];
	
	return 0;
}

Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.

ahhhh I see what you did thur... Yea i'm sure there's more efficient ways, but as far as my knowledge goes, that's what I was looking for. Gotta brush up on for loops.

thanks much!
