Write the C++ code to reverse the sequence of characters in the second half of it.
Ex:

Output="abcfed"

Dumping an assignment to a post without at least saying that is what you are doing isn't the most polite way to start a conversation, especially if you don't show any of your own effort to solve the problem.

It also isn't the safest approach, since plenty of professors regularly search the web to catch students doing things such as this (or more often, they get their TAs and grad students to do it for them).

There are websites where they will do your homework for you, at least for a fee. This isn't one of those sites.

So, let's try this: what have you done to solve this problem already, and what part are you stuck on? Do you know how you would reverse a whole array, and could you write a function for it which could be applied to an arbitrary array when given a pointer to an element in said array? Do you know how to find the midpoint of an array, and have a rule for determining which side would get the trailing/leading chracter when the array size is odd (meaning that the midpoint is right on a character)?

One hint I will give you: keep in mind the differences between a plain array of characters, C-style strings of characters, and C++ style string objects. Specificially, when working with C-strings, don't forget to account for the NULL delimiter at the end of the character string, and make sure that you don't move it from the end of the string. Note that the assignment description only says 'a sequence of characters', but gives a string as the example input and output. You may even need to get clarification from the professor on this matter.
