Why the strrev[i] = '\0' null in the end of the code?

https://code.sololearn.com/csJ1sY4LSGI4/?ref=app Code is from https://www.tutorialgateway.org/c-program-to-reverse-a-string/ Not my own code, but all many thanks to them from tutorials.

Anmol Kumar I'm don't know much about C but I'm not sure... If I comment out that line i get the same output. Veli-Matti strrev is a function. Use another variable name to avoid error in other compilers. https://www.sololearn.com/discuss/2149972/?ref=app

Well, strlen function doesn't include null character ('\0') while counting the characters in your string, so we've to explicitly tell the compiler about the null character by doing strrev[i] = '\0'

Strrev didnt work in sololearn last time I tried. Some say its not a standard function. But Ty for the tip!
