Understanding recursive string reversal

Question

I\'m using the Python Tutorial visualize webpage to try and understand the flow of this function that reverses a string:

text = \"hello\"
def reverse(text):
            


        

Answer 1

reverse("hello")
-> reverse("ello") + "h"
-> reverse("llo") + "e" + "h"
-> reverse("lo") + "l" + "e" + "h"
-> reverse("o") + "l" + "l" + "e" + "h"
-> "o" + "l" + "l" + "e" + "h"
-> "olleh"

This is to show the purpose of the return reverse(text[1:]) + text[0] line and its behaviour in action.
