C function to swap strings

The following is an example of swapping strings.

Example

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main() {
   char st1[] = "My 1st string";
   char st2[] = "My 2nd string";
   char swap;
   int i = 0;
   while(st1[i] != '\0') {
      swap = st1[i];
      st1[i] = st2[i];
      st2[i] = swap;
      i++;
   }
   printf("After swapping s1 : %s\n", st1);
   printf("After swapping s2 : %s\n", st2);
   return 0;
}

output result

After swapping s1 : My 2nd string
After swapping s2 : My 1st string

In the above program, two char types are declared as st1and st2array, a char variable 'swap', and an integer variable i. In the loop to check st1is not null, swap st1and st2value.

char st1[] = "My 1st string";
char st2[] = "My 2nd string";
char swap;
int i = 0;
while(st1[i] != '\0') {
   swap = st1[i];
   st1[i] = st2[i];
   st2[i] = swap;
   i++;
}
