how to perform reversing a sentence Word by Word in C?

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
  int i,j;
  int wordstart = -1;
  int wordend = -1;
  char words[]= "this is a test";
  char temp;

  // Reverse each word
  for (i = 0; i < strlen(words); ++i)
  {
    wordstart = -1;
    wordend = -1;
    if(words[i] != ' ') 
      wordstart = i;
    for (j = wordstart; j < strlen(words); ++j)
    {
      if(words[j] == ' ')
      {
        wordend = j - 1;
        break;
      }
    }
    if(wordend == -1)
      wordend = strlen(words);
    for (j = wordstart ; j <= (wordend - wordstart) / 2; ++j)
    {
      temp = words[j];
      words[j] = words[wordend - (j - wordstart)];
      words[wordend - (j - wordstart)] = temp;
    }
    i = wordend;
    printf("reversed string is %s:", words);
  }
}

I tried in this way but i am getting this output:
siht is a test
my expected output is:
test a is this

I would appreciate if some one could come with a different approach for which time complexity is very less or correct me if it is the right approach. Thanks

Perhaps this belongs on the code review site instead?

Your approach seems very efficient to me (except that I would only call strlen(words) once and save the result in a register).

Two possible bugs look like:

wordend = strlen(words);

should be

wordend = strlen(words)-1;

and

for(j = wordstart ; j <= (wordend - wordstart) / 2 ; ++j) {

should be

for(j = wordstart ; j <= (wordend + wordstart) / 2 ; ++j) {

Final code looks like (with some extra {}):

    #include <stdio.h>
    int main(int argc,char *argv[])
    {
        int i,j;
        char words[]= "this is a test";
        int L=strlen(words);

        // Reverse each word
        for(i = 0; i < L; ++i) {
          int wordstart = -1;
          int wordend = -1;
          if(words[i] != ' ') 
          {
            wordstart = i;

            for(j = wordstart; j < L; ++j) {
              if(words[j] == ' ') {
                wordend = j - 1;
                break;
              }
            }
            if(wordend == -1)
              wordend = L-1;
            for(j = wordstart ; j <= (wordend + wordstart) / 2 ; ++j) {
              char temp = words[j];
              words[j] = words[wordend - (j - wordstart)];
              words[wordend - (j - wordstart)] = temp;
            }
            i = wordend;
          }
        }
        printf("reversed string is %s:",words);
        return 0;   
    }
