Loop to print string backwards - c++

Question

Program asks user for a series of strings (their name and an 8 letter word), prints their name, the first and last three letters of the word, and then prints their word backwards. need help with the for loop to display string backwards.
#include <iostream>
int main () {
string FirstName;
string LastName;
string MiddleName;
string Names;
string string1;
int len;
int x;
cout << "Hello. What is your first name?" << endl;
cin >> FirstName;
cout << FirstName << ", what is your last name?" << endl;
cin >> LastName;
cout << "And your middle name?" << endl;
cin >> MiddleName;
Names = LastName + ", " + FirstName + ", " + MiddleName;
cout << Names << endl;
cout << "Please enter a word with 8 or more characters (no spaces): " << endl;
cin >> string1;
len = string1.length();
if (len < 8){
cout << "Error. Please enter a word with 8 or more characters and no spaces: " << endl;
cin >> string1;
}
else if (len >= 8){
cout << "The word you entered has " << string1.length() << " characters."<<endl;
cout << "The first three characters are " << string1.substr(0,3) << endl;
cout << "The last three characters are " <<string1.substr(string1.length()-3,3) << endl;
x = string1.length()-1;
for (x = string1.length()-1; x >=0; x--){
cout << "Your word backwards: " << string1[x];
}
}
return 0;
}

Answer 1

You were almost there:
cout << "Your word backwards: ";
for (x = string1.length()-1; x >=0; x--){
cout << string1[x];
}
This way the loop will print each character in string1 but in reverse order, and the text "Your word backwards: " only once.

Answer 2

If you want to be fancy:
copy(string1.rbegin(), string1.rend(), ostream_iterator<char>(cout));

Answer 3

Simple a way is to store a string in a temp array from backwards and then use this temp array to print reverse string.
For eg:- temp[j--]=str[i ++] ; in a loop.
But be careful before this , intialise size of array 'temp' to size of original array. in this case 'str' here.

Answer 4

This is probably not the answer to you question but I'd one one of these:
std::cout << "Your word backwards: "
<< std::string(string1.rbegin(), string1.rend()) << '\n';
*std::copy(string1.rbegin(), string1.rend(),
std::ostreambuf_iterator<char>(std::cout << "Your word backwards: "))++ = '\n';
std::reverse(string1.begin(), string1.end());
std::cout << "Your word backwards: " << string1 << '\n';
