Kotlin function: Reverse a string

Last update on December 20 2024 13:11:05 (UTC/GMT +8 hours)

Write a Kotlin function that reverses a given string.

Sample Solution:

Kotlin Code:

fun reverseString(input: String): String {
    return input.reversed()
}

fun main() {
    val str = "Kotlin function."
    println("Original string: $str")
    val reversedStr = reverseString(str)
    println("Reversed string: $reversedStr")
}

Sample Output:

Original string: Kotlin function.
Reversed string: .noitcnuf niltoK

Explanation:

In the above exercise -

• The "reverseString()" function takes a String parameter named input, representing the string to reverse.
• The reversed() function is called on the input string, which returns the string with the characters in reverse order.
• The reversed string is then returned as the function result.
• In the main function, a sample string str is defined.
• The reverseString function is called with the string as an argument, and the result is stored in the 'reversedStr' variable.
• Finally the reversed string is printed to the console.
