Error while trying to reverse a char array in C++
- by mpminnich
Hi, I'm trying to get better at C++ (I know a little). I'm working on character arrays. I found an exercise where the objective is to reverse a character array (after I convert it from an integer). I'm getting the following error (using VS2005):
Run-Time Check Failure #2 - Stack around the variable 'revBuffer' was corrupted.
When I step through the code, I notice the following:
revBuffer = 0x0012fe40 "100899ÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌ998001"
The relevant code is below.
char buffer[5];
char revBuffer[5];
int i;
int j=5;
long number = 998001;
itoa(number, buffer, 10);
for(i=0; i<strlen(buffer);i++)
{
revBuffer[j] = buffer[i];
j--;
}
Any help would be great. TIA!
