Program to reverse an array using recursion

How to Reverse an Array

1. Take two indexes start and end.

     Initialize start = 0 and end = n - 1; where n is the length of an array

2. Run a loop until start < end. And Swap the values.

C Program to Reverse an Array

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
 
   int size, i, temp, arr[100], start, end;
 
   printf (" Enter the size of an array (Max 100) \n ");
   scanf (" %d ", &size);
 
   printf (" Enter values in an array \n");
 
   for (i = 0; i < size; i++) {
  
      scanf (" %d ", &arr[i] );
  
   }
 
   start = 0;
   end   = size - 1;
 
   while ( start < end) {
  
     temp       = arr[start];
     arr[start] = arr[end];
     arr[end]   = temp;
  
     start++;
     end--;
   }
 
    printf (" After reversing an array \n ");
 
   for (i = 0; i < size; i++) {
  
      printf (" %d ", arr[i] );
  
   }
 
   return 0;
}
