we are going to share a C program to reverse a string using the stack. If you are a beginner and want to start learning the C programming, then keep your close attention in this tutorial as I am going to share a C program to reverse a string using stack with the output.
1) Define an empty stack.
2) Push all characters of string to stack one by one.
3) Pop all characters from stack and put them back to string one by one.
Here is an example “fwmquiz” will be converted to “ziuqmwf”.
We have designed this program for beginners for learning purpose. Copy below c program and execute it with c compiler to see the output of the program.

Reversed string is ziuqmwf
