Reverse an ASCII string

+11
−0

Your goal is to reverse an ascii string. Given a (optionally newline or null terminated) input, output your input in reverse order, optionally followed by a newline. Terminate afterward. Function answers will not be given a newline, and are not expected to output one unless they print the answer to console.

Examples

Assume all inputs are followed by a newline, and are all standard ASCII encoded.

abcdef -> fedcba
Hello, World! -> !dlroW ,olleH
racecar -> racecar

Example program

function solution(x) {
    return x.split("").reverse().join("");
}

Further clarifications

  • No, you don't have to handle nulls correctly.
  • Nor empty inputs.

C (gcc), 62 bytes

main(){char b[99],*p=strchr(gets(b),0);for(;p-->b;)putch(*p);}

This relies on the usual gcc extension abuse. It assumes that max user input is 98 characters + null term, since this wasn't specified.


EDIT: Revisited, function-based equivalent of the above (plus I have no idea what compiler I used to get putch working, not gcc/Linux at least):

C (gcc), 53 bytes

*o;f(char*s){for(s=strchr(o=s,0);s-->o;)putchar(*s);}

Try it online!

*p=b+strlen(gets(b)) works too but gives identical size.
