Reverse a String In-Place

Code

#include <stdio.h>

void reverse_string(char *str) {
  int start = 0;
    int end = 0;

    // Find the end of the string
    while (str[end] != '\0') {
        end++;
    }
    end--;  // Point to the last character (not the null terminator)

    // Swap characters from both ends moving toward the center
    while (start < end) {
        char temp = str[start];
        str[start] = str[end];
        str[end] = temp;
        start++;
        end--;
    }
}

int main() {
    char str[101];
    fgets(str, sizeof(str), stdin);

    // Remove newline
    int i = 0;
    while (str[i] != '\0') {
        if (str[i] == '\n') {
            str[i] = '\0';
            break;
        }
        i++;
    }

    reverse_string(str);
    printf("%s", str);
    return 0;
}
