C语言指针字符串逆序

#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>
void reverse(char *a)
{
 if (NULL == a)
 {
  return;
 }
 char *start = a;
 char *end = a + strlen(a) - 1;//利用strlen函数将数组a的元素个数算出，减一是减的'\n'
 while (start < end)
 {
  char temp = *start;
  *start = *end;
  *end = temp;
  start++;
  end--;
 }
}
int main()
{
 char a[] = "123456abcd";//逆置后为dcba654321
 printf("before: %s\n", a);
 reverse(a);
 printf("after: %s\n", a);
 system("pause");
 return 0;
}
