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

Procedure :

We can use split() to split the string .Then use reverse loop and add the characters.

Code snippet:

class test
{
  public static void main(String args[]) 
  {
      String str = "world";
      String[] split= str.split("");

      String revers = "";
      for (int i = split.length-1; i>=0; i--)
      {
        revers += split[i];
      }
      System.out.printf("%s", revers);
   }  
}

 //output : dlrow

Answer 2

recursion:

 public String stringReverse(String string) {
    if (string == null || string.length() == 0) {
        return string;
    }
    return stringReverse(string.substring(1)) + string.charAt(0);
 }

Answer 3

    //Solution #1 -- Using array and charAt()
    String name = "reverse"; //String to reverse
    Character[] nameChar =  new Character[name.length()]; // Declaring a character array with length as length of the String which you want to reverse.
    for(int i=0;i<name.length();i++)// this will loop you through the String
    nameChar[i]=name.charAt(name.length()-1-i);// Using built in charAt() we can fetch the character at a given index. 
    for(char nam:nameChar)// Just to print the above nameChar character Array using an enhanced for loop
    System.out.print(nam);


    //Solution #2 - Using StringBuffer and reverse ().
    StringBuffer reverseString = new StringBuffer("reverse");
    System.out.println(reverseString.reverse()); //reverse () Causes the character sequence to be replaced by the reverse of the sequence.

1. Using Character Array:

public String reverseString(String inputString) {
    char[] inputStringArray = inputString.toCharArray();
    String reverseString = "";
    for (int i = inputStringArray.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
        reverseString += inputStringArray[i];
    }
    return reverseString;
}

2. Using StringBuilder:

public String reverseString(String inputString) {
    StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder(inputString);
    stringBuilder = stringBuilder.reverse();
    return stringBuilder.toString();
}

OR

return new StringBuilder(inputString).reverse().toString();

Answer 5

System.out.print("Please enter your name: ");
String name = keyboard.nextLine();

String reverse = new StringBuffer(name).reverse().toString();
String rev = reverse.toLowerCase();
System.out.println(rev);

I used this method to turn names backwards and into lower case.

Answer 6

public String reverseWords(String s) {

    String reversedWords = "";

    if(s.length()<=0) {
        return reversedWords;
    }else if(s.length() == 1){
        if(s == " "){
            return "";
        }
        return s;
    }

    char arr[] = s.toCharArray();
    int j = arr.length-1;
    while(j >= 0 ){
        if( arr[j] == ' '){
            reversedWords+=arr[j];
        }else{
            String temp="";
            while(j>=0 && arr[j] != ' '){
                temp+=arr[j];
                j--;
            }
            j++;
            temp = reverseWord(temp);
            reversedWords+=temp;
        }
        j--;

    }

    String[] chk = reversedWords.split(" ");

    if(chk == null || chk.length == 0){
        return "";
    }

    return reversedWords;



}

public String reverseWord(String s){

    char[] arr = s.toCharArray();

    for(int i=0,j=arr.length-1;i<=j;i++,j--){
        char tmp = arr[i];
        arr[i] = arr[j];
        arr[j] = tmp;
    }
    return String.valueOf(arr);

}
