Printing reverse of any String without using any predefined function?

Question

How to print the reverse of the String java is object orientated language without using any predefined function like reverse()?

Answer 1

import java.util.*;
public class Restring {

public static void main(String[] args) {
  String input,output;
  Scanner kbd=new Scanner(System.in);
  System.out.println("Please Enter a String");
  input=kbd.nextLine();
  int n=input.length();

  char tmp[]=new char[n];
  char nxt[]=new char[n];

  tmp=input.toCharArray();
  int m=0;
  for(int i=n-1;i>=0;i--)
  {
      nxt[m]=tmp[i];
      m++;
  }

  System.out.print("Reversed String is   ");
  for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
  {
      System.out.print(nxt[i]);
  }

}

Answer 2

String reverse(String s) {
  int legnth = s.length();
  char[] arrayCh = s.toCharArray();
  for(int i=0; i< length/2; i++) {
      char ch = s.charAt(i);
      arrayCh[i] = arrayCh[legnth-1-i];
      arrayCh[legnth-1-i] = ch;
  } 
 return new String(arrayCh);
}

Answer 3

It can be done this way also

char c[]=str.toCharArray();
  int i=c.lenght-1;
public void printReverseString(char[] c, int i){
       if(i==-1) return;
       System.out.println(c[i]);
       printReverseString(c,--i);
   }   

Answer 4

public class StringReverse {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String s= (args[0]);
        for (int i =s.length()-1; i >= 0; i--) {            
               System.out.print(s.charAt(i));    
        }
    } 
}

Prints the reversed string of the input.

Answer 5

public class StringReverse {
    public static void main(String ar[]){
        System.out.println(reverseMe("SRINIVAS"));
    }
    static String reverseMe(String s){
        StringBuffer sb=new StringBuffer();
        for(int i=s.length()-1;i>=0;--i){
            sb.append(s.charAt(i));
        }
        return sb.toString();
    }
}

Answer 6

You can do it either recursively or iteratively (looping).

Iteratively:

 static String reverseMe(String s) {
   StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
   for(int i = s.length() - 1; i >= 0; --i)
     sb.append(s.charAt(i));
   return sb.toString();
 }

Recursively:

 static String reverseMe(String s) {
   if(s.length() == 0)
     return "";
   return s.charAt(s.length() - 1) + reverseMe(s.substring(0,s.length()-1));
 }
