C program to reverse an array
C program to reverse an array: This program reverses the array elements. For example, if ‘A’ is an array of integers with three elements such that
A[0] = 1, A[1] = 2, A[2] = 3
Then after reversing, the array will be
A[0] = 3, A[1] = 2, A[0] = 1
Reverse array C program
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int n, c, d, a[100], b[100];
printf(“Enter the number of elements in array\n“);
scanf(“%d”, &n);
printf(“Enter array elements\n“);
for (c = 0; c < n ; c++)
scanf(“%d”, &a[c]);
/*
* Copying elements into array b starting from end of array a
*/
for (c = n – 1, d = 0; c >= 0; c–, d++)
b[d] = a[c];
/*
* Copying reversed array into the original.
* Here we are modifying original array, this is optional.
*/
for (c = 0; c < n; c++)
a[c] = b[c];
printf(“Reverse array is\n“);
for (c = 0; c < n; c++)
printf(“%d\n“, a[c]);
return 0;
}
Reverse array C program output:
Reverse array by swapping (without using additional memory)
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int array[100], n, c, t, end;
scanf(“%d”, &n);
end = n – 1;
for (c = 0; c < n; c++) {
scanf(“%d”, &array[c]);
}
for (c = 0; c < n/2; c++) {
t = array[c];
array[c] = array[end];
array[end] = t;
end–;
}
printf(“Reversed array elements are:\n“);
for (c = 0; c < n; c++) {
printf(“%d\n“, array[c]);
}
return 0;
}
C program to reverse an array using pointers
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
void reverse_array(int*, int);
int main()
{
int n, c, *pointer;
scanf(“%d”,&n);
pointer = (int*)malloc(sizeof(int)*n);
if( pointer == NULL )
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
for ( c = 0 ; c < n ; c++ )
scanf(“%d”,(pointer+c));
reverse_array(pointer, n);
printf(“Original array on reversal is\n“);
for ( c = 0 ; c < n ; c++ )
printf(“%d\n“,*(pointer+c));
free(pointer);
return 0;
}
void reverse_array(int *pointer, int n)
{
int *s, c, d;
s = (int*)malloc(sizeof(int)*n);
if( s == NULL )
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
for ( c = n – 1, d = 0 ; c >= 0 ; c–, d++ )
*(s+d) = *(pointer+c);
for ( c = 0 ; c < n ; c++ )
*(pointer+c) = *(s+c);
free(s);
}
The array is passed to the function, and a new array is created, and contents of the passed array (in reverse order) are copied into it, and finally, contents of the new array are copied into the array passed to the function.
