There are so many ways to reverse a string, we are looking at the top 2 ways to reverse a string

Approach #1
In this approach, it allows the user to enter any string or character array. Next, it will use For Loop to iterate each and every character from the last character, and save the characters in reverse order.

[c] /* C program to Reverse a String without using strrev() */

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main()
{
char Str[100], RevStr[100];
int i, j, len;

printf(“\n Please Enter any String : “);
gets(Str);

j = 0;
len = strlen(Str);

for (i = len – 1; i >= 0; i–)
{
RevStr[j++] = Str[i];
}
RevStr[i] = ‘\0’;

printf(“\n String after Reversing = %s”, RevStr);

return 0;
}
[/c]

Approach #2

In this approach, we are using the temp variable to change the location of the character. It is something like swapping technique.

[c] /* C program to Reverse a String without using strrev() */

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main()
{
char Str[100], temp;
int i, j, len;

printf(“\n Please Enter any String : “);
gets(Str);

len = strlen(Str) – 1;

for (i = 0; i < strlen(Str)/2; i++)
{
temp = Str[i];
Str[i] = Str[len];
Str[len–] = temp;
}

printf(“\n String after Reversing = %s”, Str);

return 0;
}
[/c]

There are so many ways to reverse a string, we are looking at the top 2 ways to reverse a string

Approach #1 Using for loop

[python] def reverse(s):
str = “”
for i in s:
str = i + str
return str

s = “B2Tech”

print (“The original string is : “,end=””)
print (s)

print (“The reversed string(using loops) is : “,end=””)
print (reverse(s))
[/python]

Approach #2 Using extended Slice syntax

[python] # Function to reverse a string
def reverse(string):
string = string[::-1] return string

s = “bushansirgur.in”

print (“The original string is : “,end=””)
print (s)

print (“The reversed string(using extended slice syntax) is : “,end=””)
print (reverse(s))
[/python]
