Reversing a string using splice join reverse() and for loops in Python

There are different ways to reverse a string.

By using reversed()

We can reverse the sequence of all the elements of any iterable object by using using reversed() function . String method join() creates a string by joining all the elements.

str='plus2net'
str_rev=''.join(reversed(str))
print(str_rev)

Output

ten2sulp

By looping & length

By using for loop we can reverse a sting. The function len() will return the length of the string. Using the length of the string we can start from the last position char and come upto the first char.

str='plus2net'
n=len(str) # length of the string
for i in range(n-1,-1,-1):
  print(str[i],end='')

Output

ten2sulp

By using string slice

This is the shortest code to reverse a string. ( watch the last line only )
The first position of a string is 0 and last position is -1. The last line in below code will reverse the string as we are asking for full string starting from last (right most ) position.

str='plus2net'
print(str[:2]) # first two chars from left # pl
print(str[:-2]) # except last two chars # plus2n
print(str[-1]) # last position # t
print(str[::]) # full string starting from left # plus2net
print(str[::-1]) # from last position full string # ten2sulp

for loop

All strings are iterable object so we can use for loop to iterate through the string.

str='plus2net'
x=''
for i in str:
  x=i+x
print(x)

Output ( we are adding incremental char to left of the string x )
