How do you reverse a string in place in JavaScript?

Question

How do you reverse a string in place (or in-place) in JavaScript when it is passed to a function with a return statement, without using built-in functions (.reverse()<

Answer 1

Strings themselves are immutable, but you can easily create a reversed copy with the following code:

function reverseString(str) {

  var strArray = str.split("");
  strArray.reverse();

  var strReverse = strArray.join("");

  return strReverse;
}

reverseString("hello");
