Question

I have to create a program that reverses phrases.

For example: when I write hello guys, I want syug olleh

This is what I have for the moment but I don’t know how to reverse the characters in the board phraseT:

program reversing    
implicit none    
character(len=20),dimension(1:20)::phraseT    
character(len=20)::phrase,reverse    
integer::i,x


write(*,*)"write a phrase  :"    
read(*,'(a)')phrase    
x=len(trim(phrase))    
nomT(1:20)=" " 

do i=1,x    
nomT(i:i)=trim(phrase(i:i))    
end do

write(*,*)nomT    
end program reversing

Answer 1

One simple way to do it …

character(80) :: string = "Whatttt's up doc?"
character     :: temp
integer       :: i, length

write (*,*) string    ! Writes it out proper.
  length = len_trim(string) ! ignores trailing blanks. 
                            ! use len(string) to reverse those as well
  do i = 1, length/2
     temp = string(i:i)
     string(i:i) = string(length+1-i:length+1-i)
     string(length+1-i:length+1-i) = temp
  end do
write(*,*) string     ! Writes it out backwards.
end

Others will come up with more intelligent ones (and shorter) for sure.
