Java – print the inversion of any string without using any predefined functions?

How to print the reverse of string Java is an object-oriented language without using any predefined functions, such as reverse()?

Solution

You can do this recursively or iteratively (loop)

Iteration:

static String reverseMe(String s) {
   StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
   for(int i = s.length() - 1; i >= 0; --i)
     sb.append(s.charAt(i));
   return sb.toString();
 }

Recursion:

static String reverseMe(String s) {
   if(s.length() == 0)
     return "";
   return s.charAt(s.length() - 1) + reverseMe(s.substring(0,s.length()-1));
 }
