Help! Reverse name assignment

[sadinger]

Hello,
I am new to this site and new to programming. I am stuck. My assignment states the following: We need to write a program that will read in a string of any length and then display the reverse of the original string, the original string in all Caps and in all Lowercase letters. When reversing the string, the letters should be reversed with the appropriate capitalization applied to all letters.

Sample output in bold.

What string would you like to convert? John Smith
Reversed String: htimS nhoJ
All Uppercase: JOHN SMITH
All Lowercase: john smith

I figured out Uppercase and Lowercase but not reverse or even how to tie it in to the rest. We are using the console applications in Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003. Any Help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!

OK - here's how you'd go about doing what you want - I'm not going to do your assignment for you

First, you need to put your text into an array. Find the length of the array.
Second, create a second array of the same size

Your loop is like:

.array1 = "John Smith";
.array2;

For index = 0 to length-1 do {
array2[index] = array1[length - index - 1];
}

So, first time through:

length = 10
index = 0
array1 = "John Smith"
array2 = "h"

Second time through:

length = 10
index = 1
array1 = "John Smith"
array2 = "ht"

The rest is left to the reader as an interesting exercise.

Of course, consider the trivial case:

array1 = "Go hang a salami, I'm a lasagna hog"
