🚀 Day 62/150 – Reverse a String in Python

Reversing a string means arranging its characters in the opposite order.

Example:
"python" → "nohtyp"

Let’s explore different ways to reverse a string 👇

---

🔹 Method 1 – Using Slicing

text = "python" reversed_text = text[::-1] print("Reversed String:", reversed_text)

✅ Shortest and most common method.

---

🔹 Method 2 – Using for Loop

text = "python"

reversed_text = ""

for ch in text:
    reversed_text = ch + reversed_text

print("Reversed String:", reversed_text)

✅ Good for understanding the logic.

---

🔹 Method 3 – Using reversed()

text = "python"

reversed_text = ''.join(reversed(text))

print("Reversed String:", reversed_text)

✅ Uses Python’s built-in iterator.

---

🔹 Method 4 – Taking User Input

text = input("Enter a string: ")

print("Reversed String:", text[::-1])

✅ Dynamic version.

---

🔹 Method 5 – Using Recursion

def reverse_string(s): if s == "": return s return reverse_string(s[1:]) + s[0] print(reverse_string("python"))

✅ Useful for learning recursion.

💡 Key Takeaways

• Slicing [::-1] is the easiest way
• Strings are immutable, so a new string is created
• Loop and recursion help understand how reversing works
• Commonly used in palindrome and string-processing problems
