I need help reversing a string

What is it you are trying to achieve?
I'm trying to reverse a string


What is the problem you are having?
I err... can't do it.

If I have var teststring : string := "testmebro" how do I get put teststring to ouput "orbemtset"

This is vital to an important conversion program that I have to do. I can get it to convert 222 and other palindromes, but when it tries to convert 2A it gives me the answer for A2 and vice versa.

The sooner I can do this the sooner I can get started on GUI and binary. Any help is incredibly appreciated.

reverse for loop saving the individual characters in an array?

var name : string := "Lucas"
var backwards : array 1.. length (name) of string

for decreasing a : length (name) .. 1
backwards (a) := name (a)
put backwards (a)
end for

lucas, you could make it even simpler and get rid of the array

var name : string := "Lucas"

for decreasing a : length (name) .. 1
put name (a)
end for

Also, by adding a couple of period characters at the end of the put line, it will keep them all on the same line.
Turing:
put name (a) ..

yes, but then its not saved to the computer, its only outputed on the screen

Wasn't specified. Typically these small programs don't have much of a need to save the text outputted, and just display the text. If saving is going to be included, one could either save the lines into a flexible array and put them in afterwards, or put each line in the text file in the for loop itself.

Has anyone considered saving it as a new string variable? Razz

Yeah, but then again, it wasn't specified.

Turing:
var name : string := "Lucas"
var backwards : string := ""

for decreasing i : length (name) .. 1
    backwards += name(i)
end for

put backwards
