Well, now that we understand more about working with data in C$,$ let's do something cool!

I want you to make a program that will get information about a wav file $-$ then modify the file so that it will play backward. We can't simply reverse all the bytes in the file though, as some are metadata, and others are samples that are more than one byte long. What we need to do is

copy the metadata

reverse the samples $($not the bytes$)$

Let's say that you have the following samples:

$|0001|0203|0405|$

If we wanted this audio to play backward, we would need to rewrite it so that it looks like this:

$|0405|0203|0001|$

The first $44$ bytes of the file are the metadata. You can copy the metadata without modifying it to the new file. Then, you need to copy each sample from the old file to the new one, in reverse. The wave file I have given you is very easy to work with; each sample is $16-$bits $(2-$bytes$),$ and there is only one channel. The samples start at byte number $44."$
