Reverse a string in Java

Question

I have \"Hello World\" kept in a String variable named hi.

I need to print it, but reversed.

How can I do this? I understand there

Answer 1

package logicprogram;
import java.io.*;

public class Strinrevers {
public static void main(String args[])throws IOException
{
    BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
    System.out.println("enter data");
    String data=br.readLine();
    System.out.println(data);
    String str="";
    char cha[]=data.toCharArray();

    int l=data.length();
    int k=l-1;
    System.out.println(l);


    for(int i=0;k>=i;k--)
    {

        str+=cha[k];


    }
    //String text=String.valueOf(ch);
    System.out.println(str);

}

}

Answer 2

This did the trick for me

public static void main(String[] args) {

    String text = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";

    for (int i = (text.length() - 1); i >= 0; i--) {
        System.out.print(text.charAt(i));
    }
}

Answer 3

public class Test {

public static void main(String args[]) {
   StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer("Game Plan");
   buffer.reverse();
   System.out.println(buffer);
 }  
}

Answer 4

Here is an example using recursion:

public void reverseString() {
    String alphabet = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
    String reverseAlphabet = reverse(alphabet, alphabet.length()-1);
}

String reverse(String stringToReverse, int index){
    if(index == 0){
        return stringToReverse.charAt(0) + "";
    }

    char letter = stringToReverse.charAt(index);
    return letter + reverse(stringToReverse, index-1);
}

Answer 5

You can use this:

new StringBuilder(hi).reverse().toString()

Or, for versions earlier than JDK 1.5, use java.util.StringBuffer instead of StringBuilder — they have the same API. Thanks commentators for pointing out that StringBuilder is preferred nowadays when there is no concurrency concern.

Answer 6

All above solution is too good but here I am making reverse string using recursive programming.

This is helpful for who is looking recursive way of doing reverse string.

public class ReversString {

public static void main(String args[]) {
    char s[] = "Dhiral Pandya".toCharArray();
    String r = new String(reverse(0, s));
    System.out.println(r);
}

public static char[] reverse(int i, char source[]) {

    if (source.length / 2 == i) {
        return source;
    }

    char t = source[i];
    source[i] = source[source.length - 1 - i];
    source[source.length - 1 - i] = t;

    i++;
    return reverse(i, source);

}

}
