but how do i reverse a string if it isnt a string? which means how do i avoid using pointers and arrays m confused

[ishkabible]

most of the solutions that stayed within the confines of the challenge found an alternate representation for a string.

I believe this works. I didn't know if string member functions are allowed. But here is my solution. It works!

#include<iostream>
#include<string>
using namespace std;

int main(void)
{
	string randomString = "That dog is fat!";
	string reversedString = "";
	
	for(int i = randomString.length() - 1; i > -1; i--)
	{
		reversedString += randomString.at(i);
	}
	cout << "\"" << randomString << "\"" <<  " reversed is " << "\"" << reversedString << "\"" << flush;
	cin.ignore(2);
	return 0;
}

The problem states that you are required NOT to use arrays, pointers, or C strings. Well you are using C++ strings so I think your not very creative solution passes.

I don't think it's a question of creativity but does it solve the problem. And my solution solves the problem.

I haven't got the code yet, but not using the reverse function, I would use recursion, grabbing one letter, then calling itself, then printing the letter. Am not 100% sure how I would grab the letter yet, but im going to try

#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
int i,j;
char te,st[50];
cout<<"\nEnter string to be reversed";
gets(st);
int l=strlen(st);
j=l-1;
for(i=0;i<l/2;i++,j--)
  {
   te=st[i];
   st[i]=st[j];
   st[j]=te;
   }
cout<<st;
getch();
}
