I am trying to write code to reverse a string in place (I'm just trying to get better at C programming and pointer manipulation), but I cannot figure out why I am getting a segmentation fault:
#include <string.h>
void reverse(char *s);
int main() {
char* s = "teststring";
reverse(s);
return 0;
}
void reverse(char *s) {
int i, j;
char temp;
for (i=0,j = (strlen(s)-1); i < j; i++, j--) {
temp = *(s+i); //line 1
*(s+i) = *(s+j); //line 2
*(s+j) = temp; //line 3
}
}
It's lines 2 and 3 that are causing the segmentation fault. I understand that there may be better ways to do this, but I am interested in finding out what specifically in my code is causing the segmentation fault.
Update: I have included the calling function as requested.
