Reversing an array of chars (algorithm for this?)

Ok, so I'm writing a program to convert decimal into binary. It all works with the exception that my binary shows up in reverse order and I'm having trouble with reversing the array of chars in my intToBinaryString() function.

Any tips on how to get this started?
