What happened?

Question

Note that reverse(sentence) is not the problem.

int main()
{
cout << "enter a sentence" << endl;
char* cin << sentence;
reverse(sentence);
}

Answer 1

make this
int main()
{
cout << "enter a sentence" << endl;
char sentence;
cin >> sentence;
reverse(sentence);
}

Answer 2

compile error

Answer 3

bayram akdemir is actually correct. everyone commenting has missed the obvious mistake except him.

cin requires >>
cout requires <<

i can not figure out what you were trying to do with char* cin...

Answer 4

What happens when you run your code?

Answer 5

Output?

Answer 6

I did. First off I don't have your code for the reverse() function.
Second, when you use a char, it only stores one character i.e. 'A'.

To store a string of characters use string. I think that's the problem you're having.

EDIT: Compiler error: note: Candidate (reverse) expects 2 arguments, 1 provided. So reverse is a part of stl_algo.h

If you are going to use features provided by stl, make sure you first know how to use them/ what arguments they require.

Answer 7

Try this:

int main()
{
string sentence;
cout<<"Enter a sentence.\n";
cin<<sentence;
reverse(sentence.begin(), sentence.end());
cout<<sentence<<'\n';
return 0;
}
