Inbuilt Methods Reverse String Slicing In this post we will discuss inbuilt methods related to reversing a string in Python including slicing reverse method and join function Reverse String Slicing Python allows you to reverse a string using slicing By using negative indexing you can create a reversed substring of the original string Here s an example my string Hello World reversed string my string 1 print reversed string Output dlroW olleH Inbuilt Method reverse Python s reverse method can be used on strings lists and tuples to reverse their elements in place However this method is not available for strings in Python 3 x In Python 2 x you can use it as follows my string Hello World my string reverse print my string Output dlroW olleH For Python 3 x you can use the following workaround to reverse a string my string Hello World my string my string 1 print my string Output dlroW olleH Using join to Reverse a String Another way to reverse a string in Python is by using the join function with a list of characters The join function concatenates all elements in the list into a string To reverse a string you can use a list of characters from the string in reverse order Here s an example my string Hello World reversed char list list my string 1 reversed string join reversed char list print reversed string Output dlroW olleH In this post we covered various methods to reverse a string in Python including slicing using the reverse method and join function Remember that the reverse method is not available for strings in Python 3 x so you should use the workaround mentioned earlier
