how do i reverse the letters in a string in python?

Question

i want to reverse the order of characters in a string so take strings as arguments and return s new string with letters of the original string example - "hello" would return "olleh"

All I have gotten to is:

def reverse(" "):
   string = input("Give me a word")
   x = ord(string)
   print(x)

There's a function called `reversed`. – Klaus D. Nov 02 '15 at 03:22 — Klaus D., Nov 02 '15 at 03:22

You can do it like this:

"hello"[::-1]

Correct. The "martian smiley" is the best way to reverse a string. – kindall Nov 02 '15 at 03:25
