C Exercises: Pictorial: Print the elements of an array in reverse order.

Sample Solution:

C Code:

#include <stdio.h>
void main() 
{
   int n, i, arr1[15];
   int *pt;
 	printf("\n\n Pointer : Print the elements of an array in reverse order :\n"); 
	printf("----------------------------------------------------------------\n");
	
   printf(" Input the number of elements to store in the array (max 15) : ");
   scanf("%d",&n);
   pt = &arr1[0];  // pt stores the address of base array arr1 
   printf(" Input %d number of elements in the array : \n",n);
   for(i=0;i<n;i++)
      {
	  printf(" element - %d : ",i+1);
	  scanf("%d",pt);//accept the address of the value
	  pt++;
	  } 	
	
   pt = &arr1[n - 1];

   printf("\n The elements of array in reverse order are :");

   for (i = n; i > 0; i--) 
   {
      printf("\n element - %d : %d  ", i, *pt);
      pt--;
   }
printf("\n\n");
}

Sample Output:
