I'm trying to create a function that takes in a string, the reverses it, which is all being done in main. Here's what I have so far.
#include <cstring>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
std::string str = "zombie";
void Reverse( std::string a)
{
char* a1 = a.c_str;
char* a2;
for (int i = (strlen(a1) -1); a1[i]!=0; i--)
{
a2 += a1[i];
}
str = a2;
}
int main()
{
Reverse(str);
std::cout << str << std::endl;
}
But i keep getting this error. I can't utilize pointers in this question. Any suggestions?
EDIT: I'm particularly having issues with converting the inserted parameter a into a c-style string.
EDIT 2: So I started cleaning it up a bit, to my understanding, the code that I had wouldn't accomplish my goal at all, even with proper changes. Would this be on a better track? I plan on just converting the string to c-style before passing it to the function.
void Reverse(const char* s)
{
int x = strlen(s);
std::string str = "";
for (int c = x; c > 0; c--)
{
str += s[c];
}
}
