Because it raise a compile time error when you call strrev on snum. The problem is than snum is a pointer to a literal string which compiler store in a constant (eg. not writable area). Because strrev reverse an ASCII string in place, it have to edit (eg. write) the data pointing to snum then, for what i said before, an error happen. One solution is declare snum like an array than is stored onto stack then it can be writable: char snum[] = "anystring"; Anyway, i never seen this function and doing some search on google, it seem to be a not-standard function avaible only on Windows environment.
