Need help reversing a word

[vikingsfan76]

So I missed a lecture where the professor went over character arrays and now I don't really know what I am doing. Here are the instructions:

1. Start by prompting the user for a 5-letter word and saving it into a string. 2. Create a loop that iterates through every character cell and reverses the order of the word by saving it into an array of 5 characters.
3. Display the original word and the new reversed word.

Here's what I have so far. Any help is appreciated.

  
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()

{

string word;
char word2[5];
int x = 0;

word2[0]=word[4];
word2[1]=word[3];
word2[2]=word[2];
word2[3]=word[1];

cout << "Enter a 5-letter word." << endl;
cin >> word;
cout << "The original word is " << word << "." << endl;

while (x<5)
{
word2[x] = word[];
x=x+1;
}

cout << "The word in reverse is " << word2 << "." << endl;

return 0;

Hello, character arrays are simply arrays of characters. (Please review: https://www.codingunit.com/cplusplus-tutorial-character-sequence-using-arrays)

Here's my solution to your exercise:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main()
{
	int c = 0;
	std::string word;
	char inversedWord[5];
	std::cout << "Enter a 5-letter word: ";
	std::cin >> word;

	// Check if the word contains more than 5 letters
	while (word.length() > 5)
	{
		// If so, empty the word and prompt the user to enter another word
		// This loop structure will keep executing until the length of the word
		// is less than or equal to 5
		word.empty();
		std::cout << "Enter a 5-letter word: ";
		std::cin >> word;
	}

	// Loop through the original word starting from the last letter to the first letter 
	// while assigning the letters to the inversedWord char array
	for (int i = word.length() - 1; i >= 0; --i)
	{
		inversedWord[c] = word[i];
		c++;
	}

	std::cout << "The original and the reversed words: \n";
	std::cout << word << "\n";

	// Display the reversed word
	for (unsigned int i = 0; i < word.size(); ++i)
	{
		std::cout << inversedWord[i] << "";
	}

	return 0;
}

Thank you very much. Do you know how I could get it to output like this?:

The original word is horse
The word in reverse order is esroh

Highlight line 31 and 32 and paste the following:

std::cout << "The original word is: ";
std::cout << word << "\n";
std::cout << "The word in reverse order is: ";
