reverse a string in python

1# in order to make a string reversed in python 
2# you have to use the slicing as following
3
4string = "racecar"
5print(string[::-1])
6

1'String'[::-1] #-> 'gnirtS'

1'hello world'[::-1]
2'dlrow olleh'

1string = 'hello people of india'
2words = string.split()   #converts string into list
3print(words[::-1])

1# Python string/number reverser
2# Kinda too much code, so don't use this, use the other examples under this answer.
3example_number = 12143
4example_string = "Hello there"

6def reverse(thing): 
7    thing = str(thing) # convert it to a string, just in case it was a number
8    list_of_chars = [char for char in thing]
9    reversed_list_of_chars = []
10    x = -1
11    
12    for char in list_of_chars:
13      reversed_list_of_chars.append(list_of_chars[x])

15    
16    reversed_thing = ''.join(reversed_list_of_chars)
17    
18    return reversed_thing
19    # Or alternatively do:
20    print(reversed_thing)
21
22# Run it by doing this
