How to reverse a string in Go?

Question

How can we reverse a simple string in Go?

Answer 1

A version which I think works on unicode. It is built on the utf8.Rune functions:

func Reverse(s string) string {
    b := make([]byte, len(s));
    for i, j := len(s)-1, 0; i >= 0; i-- {
        if utf8.RuneStart(s[i]) {
            rune, size := utf8.DecodeRuneInString(s[i:len(s)]);
            utf8.EncodeRune(rune, b[j:j+size]);
            j += size;
        }
    }
    return string(b);
}
