Hi All , hope you are having a nice day

Can some kind person please explain this to me:

If I put line_in = "This is a test string.", why do I get output of

----CUT----
This is a test string.

.gnirts tset a si sih
----CUT----

It keeps dropping the first letter in the last line.

Why?

The bit of code that is doing this is
(with the value passed to index = 0)


void reverse (char line_in[], int index)
{
    if (line_in[index])
    {
        printf ("%c", line_in[index]);
        index++;
        reverse (line_in, index);
    }
    printf ("%c", line_in[index]);
}



I'm using DJGPP 2.0 for a compiler and learning C from it. Yes I know
that is a hard way of doing it, but I'm learnig slowly.

Thank you all.
