Reversing Text¶

Run this next one, and look at how a simple change to the pattern gives a very different result. Here we’ll combine before rather than afterward, changing only Step 4 (how values are accumulated).

csp-9-2-2: Why do you think newStringB has all the letters, but in the reverse order?

Because we add each new letter at the end of newStringB.
Each new letter gets added at the end, which creates a reversal.
Because newStringA is adding the characters from left to right.
How would that reverse the other string?
Because we called a reverse function.
There is no reverse function in this program.
Because the for loop is doing a reversal
The same for loop is creating both an in-order copy of the string and a reversed order of the string. The for loop is the same in both cases.
