Confused on Code Error C++

Question

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <ios>
using namespace std;

int main() {
string words[1]; //initializing the array
int length; //length will be how we eventually check the size of the input
for(int x = 0; x < 1; x++){
cout << "Enter Your word, So it shall be tested.\n\n";
std::getline(std::cin, words[x]);

}

for(int x = words.length()-1; x >=0; x--){
length = words[x].length();
cout << words[x];

}

return 0;
}

Bit lost on this one, Compiler isn't providing enough information for me to accurately figure out my compile error, Trying to simply produce the user's input backwards.

Answer 1

When you are trying to print the word backwards you are not accessing the string array properly.

See:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main() {
string words[1]; //initializing the array
// int length; //length will be how we eventually check the size of the input
for(int x = 0; x < 1; x++){
cout << "Enter Your word, So it shall be tested.\n\n";
std::cin >> words[x];

}
// traverse the array
for(int x = 0; x < 1; x++){
//traverse the word (backwards)
for(int i = words[x].length()-1; i >=0; i--){
//output the character at position i
cout << words[x].at(i);
}
}
return 0;
}
