Problem with processing individual strings stored in an array of pointers to multiple strings in C

Question

An array of pointers to strings is provided as the input. The task is to reverse each string stored in the input array of pointers. I\'ve made a function called reverseStrin

Answer 1

You are trying to change string literals.

String literals are usually not modifiable, and really should be declared as const.

const char *s[] = {"abcde", "12345", "65gb"};
/* pointers to string literals */

If you want to make an array of modifiable strings, try this:

char s[][24] = {"abcde", "12345", "65gb"};
/* non-readonly array initialized from string literals */

The compiler will automatically determine you need 3 strings, but it can't determine how long each needs to be. I've made them 24 bytes long.
