Reverse a string in javascript without using any inbuilt function

Question

 function reverse1(str){
  var a = "";
  for(var i = 0; i <= str.length/2; i++){
    a = str[i];
    str[i] = str[str.length-i-1];
    str[str.length-i-1] = a;
  }
  return str;
}
var str = "abcdef";
reverse1(str);

I want to reverse a string without using any inbuilt function, and I want it to change the original string itself but it doesn't work well. The language is Javascript.

Answer 1

Here is the simplest way to do without using any javascript inbuilt function.

function reverse1(str){
  let r = "";
  for(let i = str.length-1; i >= 0; i--){
    r += str[i];
  }
  return r;
}

console.log(reverse1("javascript"))

Answer 2

Reverse the forloop iteration From high to low i-- used to decrement the value of i

function reverse1(str) {
str = str.trim();
var res ="";
   for(var i = str.length-1; i >= 0; i--){
      res +=str[i];
  }
  return res;
}
var str = "abcdef";
console.log(reverse1(str))

Answer 3

Javascript strings are immutable, you cannot simply replace a character with another one

function reverse1(str){
  var  len = str.length, result = "";
  for(var i = 0; i <= len-1; i++){
    result = result + str[len-i-1];
  }
  return result;
}
var str = "abcdef";
str = reverse1(str);
console.log(str);

You can always create a new string and return it though

Answer 4

Create a new string and add all the chars from the original string to it backwards:

function reverse1(str){
  var r = "";
  for(var i = str.length - 1; i >= 0; i--){
    r += str.charAt(i);
  }
  return r;
}

Then just say:

str = reverse1(str);

Answer 5

Well if you don't want to use the inbuilt functions here you go

var string = 'hello';
function reverse(str) {
  if(!str.trim() || 'string' !== typeof str) {
    return;
  }
  var length=str.length;
  s='';
  while(length > 0) {
    length--;
    s+= str[l];
  }
  return s;
}

console.log(reverse(string));

Answer 6

const reverseString = (str = null) => {
let newStr = [];
let string = "";
let reverseStr = "";
for (i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
   if (str[i] == " ") {
       newStr.push(string);
       string = "";
   } else {
       string += str[i];
   }
 }
if (string) {  
newStr.push(string);
} 
for (i = newStr.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
     reverseStr += newStr[i] + " ";
}
return reverseStr;
};
let val = reverseString("My name is mohd jagir");
console.log(val);
//output will be jagir mohd is name My

Answer 7

I think using below way is simple and clean.

function reverse(str) {

return str.split("").reduce((a,b)=> a = b + a ,"")

}

Answer 8

i think this will be easy way to implement without using any inbuild function,you can reverse string also if you uncomment the commented code

const restring = "abcdf ghj";

// console.log(restring.length)
let temp = "";
// let valSplit = restring.split(" ");

for(let i = restring.length-1;i >= 0;i--){
    temp += (restring[i]) ;
}
console.log(temp)

Answer 9

I think this question better answer is here. why char can't be change in a position.

function reverse(s){
    return s.split("").reverse().join("");
}
var originalString = "ABCD";
console.log(reverse(originalString));
console.log(originalString);
originalString = reverse(originalString);
console.log(originalString);
