Type 'String' does not conform to protocol 'SequenceType' - Swift 2.0

Question

I\'m trying to reverse string in Swift 2.0 but I get an error on the string ifself.

func reverseString(string: String) -> String {
    var buffer = \"\"
          


        

Answer 1

Easy solution:

func reverseString(string: String) -> String {
    return String(string.characters.reverse())
}

Your code works with this change

for character in string.characters {

Swift 3:

In Swift 3 reverse() has been renamed to reversed()

Swift 4:

In Swift 4 characters can be omitted because String returned to behave like a sequence.

func reverseString(string: String) -> String {
    return String(string.reversed())
}
