Where are you stuck?

Member 11283203 3-Dec-14 10:17am

I don't have an idea what to do

No one is going to write all of the code for you so you need to get to work and then let us know where you get stuck.

"and also without pointers"

The parameter st *is* a pointer (don't let the [] brackets fool you).

Solution 1

You can do that in a single iteration over the string characters, it's just a multiply and add job.
