使用指针反转C ++中的字符数组

Question

So the program is supposed to use a loop to count the total size of the array of characters that contains "Hello World!", return that count as an int, and then call a function that uses pointers to start at the beginning and end of the array to swap the characters until the null point " " in between the words. I have largely figured out the code, but it won't compile correctly and won't display or won't complete the swap, I keep getting the following error: "LNK1168 cannot open Lab06.exe for writing"
How can I fix this?

#include "targetver.h"
#include <iomanip>
#include <array>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <tchar.h>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    //int to hold size of array
    int count = 0;
    // declare a c-string to reverse
    char myString[] = "Hello world!";
    //print array as is
    cout << myString << endl;
    //find size of the array


    // call the reverser function
    reverser(myString, count);

    // output the result
    cout << myString << endl;

    system("PAUSE");
    return 0;
}

int findSize(char myString[], int count)
{

    count = (unsigned)strlen(myString);
    cout << "The size of the Array is: " << count << endl;
    return count;

}


void reverser(char myString[], int count)
{
    findSize(myString, count);
    char *strPtr;
    char *endPtr;
    endPtr =& myString[count];
    strPtr = myString;

    for (int x = 0; x <= count; x++)
    {
        strPtr++;
        *strPtr = myString[x];
        endPtr--;
        *endPtr = myString[count--];
        *strPtr = *endPtr;
        cout << strPtr << endl;
        cout << endPtr << endl;
    }

}

Answer 1

OK lets start at the top

findsize returns the size, but you are ignoring it. You try to pass in count as an argument and hope to update count in findsize. This isnt how C works. So first do

int findSize(char myString[])
{

    int count = strlen(myString);
    cout << "The size of the Array is: " << count << endl;
    return count;
}

now when you call findsize you must remember the result.

int count = findsize(myString);

This return a count of the length. Say the string is 'abc', count will be 3.

The string has 3 chars myString[0], mystring[1] and ystring[2]. Note that there is no [3] character..

Reversing in place is tricky.

void reverser(char myString[])
{
    int count = findSize(myString);
    char *strPtr = myString
    char *endPtr = &myString[count - 1];
    strPtr = myString;

    for (int x = 0; x <= count / 2; x++)
    {
       char swap = *strPtr;
       strPtr[x] = *endPtr;
       *endPtr = swap;
       endPtr--;
    }
}

Disclaimer - I have not tested this code.

count = findSize(myString, count);

since findSize returns count you need count to equal the value it returns.

void reverser(char myString[])
{
int count = findSize(myString);
char *endPtr;
endPtr =& myString[count-1];
char *temp = new char[count];

for (int x = 0; x < count; x++)
{
     temp[x] = *endPtr;//this assgins the last letter of myString to the first element of temp 
     endPtr--;//decrement so endPtr points to myString[count - 1];
}
//now transfer
for(int x = 0; x < count; x++){
    myString[x] = temp[x];
}
delete [] temp;
}
