Complete the following function using C.
#include
// DO NOT USE the string library
void wordSwapper(char *source, char *destination) { // This function takes a pointer to a 'source' string (an array // of chars, with maximum size MAX_STR_LEN), and // makes a new string inside the 'destination' string // (which is also passed as a pointer) so that the order // of the words in the destination string is the reverse // of the order in the source string. // // e.g. if: // The 'surce' string contains "Hello I Am A String!" // // then the destination string will contain // // 'String! A Am I Hello" // (notice that we add a space between each word in the // destination string - these are *added*, not *copied*) // // The only character to be used in separating words is // a blank space, so any other characters are considered // part of a word, for example "Hello, I; Am! A. *String*" // will becoe "*String* A. Am! I; Hello," // // You *MUST* use pointers and pointer addressing to complete // this exercise (that is, no array notation with brackets []), // and you can not assume the 'destination' string is empty, // it could (and likely does) contain junk. // // If you decide to write helper functions, make sure they // are placed *above* this function's code. // TO DO: Complete this function }
#ifndef __TESTING int main() { char source[MAX_STR_LEN]="silence .is a looking bird:the turning; edge, of life. e. e. cummings"; char destination[MAX_STR_LEN]="I am a destination string and I contain lots of junk 1234517265716572@qsajdkuhasdgsahiehwjauhiuiuhdsj!";

// Call word swapper with the address of the first character in 'source' and the first character in 'destination' wordSwapper(&source[0],&destination[0]); // You could also call wordSwapper like this: wordSwapper(source,destination) since, as we will have seen in // lecture this week, the array's name can be used to pass into a function the address of the first entry // in the array. printf("Destination string after swapping: %s ",destination); } #endif
