How do I allow a user to input a phrase of any size and then reverse all of the characters in that phrase?

Question

1.00/5 (2 votes)

See more:

If the user inputs "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy old dog." the program should read back ".god dlo yzal eht revo spmuj xof nworb kciuq ehT". The program should be able to read any sized input. I am only able to get it to reverse one word because it will not read every word in the phrase.

What I have tried:

I was able to get my program to reverse one word but thats it. The user can enter "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy old dog." but it will only return "ehT", and I need it to reverse every word that a user inputs of any size so it would return ".god dlo yzal eht revo spmuj xof nworb kciuq ehT". But I am unsure how to make my program do this.

Solution 1

Start at the end of the phrase, don't bother with words at all. Then step backwards through the string character by character until you reach the beginning.

But this is your homework, not mine, so I'll give you no code!

Hey man, it is C++ after all!

C++

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <algorithm>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
  string s{"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy old dog."};
  reverse(s.begin(), s.end());
  cout << s << endl;
}
