C program to reverse the order of the words entered.

[Tarun Jha]

for ex, input: My name is Bay Max. output: Max Bay is name My. below is my code, but its too long and messy. How do i make it more concise and readable? Any alternative would be appreciated.

#include
#include

#define EOL '\n'
#define MAX_SIZE 100

int main(){

char text\[MAX\_SIZE\], back\[MAX\_SIZE\], temp\[MAX\_SIZE\];
int count, i, mark\[50\];

//reading the text
for(count=0; (text\[count\] = getc(stdin))!= EOL; ++count){
    mark\[count\]=0;
}
text\[count\] = '\\0';

//reversing the text
for(i = count-1; i>=0; --i){
    back\[(count-1)-i\] = text\[i\];
}
back\[count\] = '\\0';

//noting the frequencies of the occurences of space
for(i=count-1; i>=0; --i){
	if(back\[i\]== ' '){
        mark\[i\] = i;
    }
}

//irr-reversing each words at their respective place
int j, k=0, l=0;
for(i=0; i\=k; j--){
            temp\[l\] = back\[j\];					//it reverse the words btw two space entries
            l++;
        }           
        temp\[mark\[i\]\] = ' ';
        l= l+1;
        k = mark\[i\]+1;
    }
}
for(i=count-1; i>=k; i--){
	temp\[l\] = back\[i\];				//it reverse the word after the last space entry. 
	l++;
}

//printing the string.
printf("\\n%s", temp);
return 0;

}

Thank you.

I'd make a map of the words (array of pointers to char), then iterate it backward.

I would be tempted to use strtok(). Then just read the returned value in reverse order.
