Error: Lvalue required in function main

[huggsy]

I started using C just today and I am having a problem with strrev() function.

Here are my codes:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<string.h>
 
main()
 
{
char a[20], b[20];
clrscr();
printf("Please enter your name: ");
scanf("%s", &a);
b=strrev(a);
printf("Thanks. Your name when spelled backwards is %s.", b);
getch();
return(0);
}
 

When I try to run it, it gives me the Error: Lvalue required in function main. I've been trying everything and it just won't work. What shall I do? :(

Write int main() and return 0; at the end!

instead of creating char b[100] array , create a pointer say char *b; and make the pointer to refer the array a[100].
now you will get the reverse string output.

.
char *b;
b=strrev(a);
printf("%s",b);

the function should return a value. as you have returned 0, you should give the return type as int.

no it is not the problem with pointers....
