Question

Reversing the elements of an array involves swapping the corresponding elements of the array: the first with the last, the second with the next to the last, and so on, all the way to the middle of the array . Given an array a and two other int variables , k and temp, write a loop that reverses the elements of the array. Do not use any other variables besides a, k, and temp.

Answer 1

Answer:

// Assume that all variables a, n, temp have been declared.

 // Where a is the array, n is the array length, temp is a temporary

 // storage location.

 // Cycle through the array a.

 // By the time the loop gets halfway,

 // The array would have been reversed.

 // The loop needs not get to the end of the array.

 // Hence, the loop ends halfway into the array i.e n/2.

 for (int k = 0; k < n / 2; k++) {

   

  // Swap first and last, second and next-to-the-last and so on

  temp = a[k];

  a[k] = a[n - k - 1];

  a[n - k - 1] = temp;

 }
