* This program is going to take two strings (one using the c-strin class and one using a string class
* and compare the two outputing if equal, larger and so on. Afterwards the program is going to take the first
* string that was inputted and in a function reverse its contents.

**THE MOST TIME CONSUMING PART IN THIS PROGRAM IS WHERE THE SWAP FUNCTION IS USED I CANT SEEM TO GET THIS UNDER MY BELT...FOR SOME REASON MY TEACHER IS MAKING US USE THIS SWAP FUNCTION AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THIS WONT WORK***
anybody willing to help
