Reverse your quine [released]

+1
−0

Challenge

Write a program that prints its reversed self. For example, if your code is

foo()

Then it'll output:

)(oof

Make sure that the quine is a valid one, as defined here:

No cheating -- that means that you can't just read the source file and print it. Also, in many languages, an empty file is also a quine: that isn't considered a legit quine either.

Additionally, your quine may not consist of only one data section. This includes HTML programs without tags (thus only printing their source), and the Golfscript program 1.

What are data sections?

I would suggest saying that the quine should be payload-capable rather than talking about data sections, because I'm not sure what exactly that means.

user‭ I think what ATaco is implying in the quote is the fact that in HTML, you can literally output anything without using the HTML tags, the supposed "data sections".
