Can you reverse order a string in one line with LINQ or a LAMBDA expression

Question

Not that I would want to use this practically (for many reasons) but out of strict curiousity I would like to know if there is a way to reverse order a string using LINQ and/or

Answer 1

In addition to one previous post here is a more performant solution.

var actual0 = "reverse me".Aggregate(new StringBuilder(), (x, y) => x.Insert(0, y)).ToString();

Answer 2

var reversedValue= "reverse me".Reverse().ToArray();

Answer 3

I don't see a practical use for this but just for the sake of fun:

new string(Enumerable.Range(1, input.Length).Select(i => input[input.Length - i]).ToArray())

Answer 4

If we need to support combining characters and surrogate pairs:

// This method tries to handle:
// (1) Combining characters
// These are two or more Unicode characters that are combined into one glyph.
// For example, try reversing "Not nai\u0308ve.". The diaresis (¨) should stay over the i, not move to the v.
// (2) Surrogate pairs
// These are Unicode characters whose code points exceed U+FFFF (so are not in "plane 0").
// To be represented with 16-bit 'char' values (which are really UTF-16 code units), one character needs *two* char values, a so-called surrogate pair.
// For example, try "The sphere \U0001D54A and the torus \U0001D54B.". The                                                                     

                                                        
            

Answer 5

new string(value.Reverse().ToArray())
