One way to reverse the elements in an array is by looping through the array.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Define an integer array and initialize its elements.<\/li>\n
  2. Iterate through the elements starting from the last one using a for loop until reaching the first element.<\/li>\n
  3. In the loop, use the printf function to output the current element being traversed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The example code is shown below:<\/p>\n

    #include<\/span> <stdio.h><\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\nint<\/span> main<\/span>()<\/span> {\r\n    int<\/span> arr[] = {1<\/span>, 2<\/span>, 3<\/span>, 4<\/span>, 5<\/span>};\r\n    int<\/span> length = sizeof<\/span>(arr) \/ sizeof<\/span>(arr[0<\/span>]);\r\n\r\n    for<\/span> (int<\/span> i = length - 1<\/span>; i >= 0<\/span>; i--) {\r\n        printf<\/span>(\"%d \"<\/span>, arr[i]);\r\n    }\r\n\r\n    return<\/span> 0<\/span>;\r\n}\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
    The output is: 5 4 3 2 1<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
