I need to make program that asks user to enter n, the number of elements of the string (not more than 50). If n is out of range print the message and request re-entry. Then enter n numbers that will print in the reverse order of the entry order.

What can I change in my code so I can get correct results like in this example:
(input) 55 0 5 1 2 3 4 5

(output)
Enter number of strings: Wrong input!!
Enter number of strings: Wrong input!!
Enter number of strings: Enter 5 numbers:
5, 4, 3, 2, 1,

This is code I wrote by now:

Hi Alenko - you use a loop to read in the numbers. Don't you just need another loop to output them, but in reverse order?

Also, I can see you do a printf() after your loop where you read in the numbers. If the number of numbers is 5, then they will be stored in a[0..4]. But then that printf() after the loop will output a[i=n=5], which hasn't been set.

That printf() needs to be in a loop where you make i go from 4..0 (if n is 5) and output a[i] each time.
