How do you reverse a string in place in JavaScript?

Question

How do you reverse a string in place (or in-place) in JavaScript when it is passed to a function with a return statement, without using built-in functions (.reverse()<

Answer 1

I think String.prototype.reverse is a good way to solve this problem; the code as below;

String.prototype.reverse = function() {
  return this.split('').reverse().join('');
}

var str = 'this is a good example for string reverse';
str.reverse();
-> "esrever gnirts rof elpmaxe doog a si siht";
