i need to find a way to flip the variable so for example if the person enters a word lets say "myname" i need it to convert to "emanym", so i can work with it later. if anyone knows a possible code to do that please help or you know how you can get to display variables letters such as name(1..3) how is it possible to make it (3..1)?????????? |

well you can start with name(1), name(2), name(3), and then place them in the correct order. |

i get what you mean i tried it before, but my teacher said there is a way to simplify it, so i think its either reverse the name and mak i go (1..3),, or somehow chafigure out the (3..1) way |

Try using for loops to go through each letter forwards and then backwards with another for loop. |

I don't see why you need to go forward through the loop at all. Do you know how to go backward through a for loop? If so this task should be pretty simple. (If you don't, look in the Turing documentation of 'for' loops). |

yeah its for decreasing what i've tried is for decreasing x : len .. 1 put name (x) end for it works but its in the upward direction like a m a n when i press locate it only gives me the first letter of the name if possible can you please tell me what i need to fix about it |
