How to print an entered string backwards in C using only a for loop

Question

I want to print a string backwards. But my code seems to count down the alphabet from the last letter in the array to the first letter in the array instead of counting down

Answer 1

What you have loops between the array element values. You want to loop between the array indexes. Update your loop to the following:

for (x = end; x >= 0; --x) {
    printf("%c", word[x]);
}

Note that this goes from the last index to zero and output the character at that index. Also a micro-optimization in the for loop using pre-decrement.
