C++ Program To Display String From Backward

Write own reverse function by swapping characters: One simple solution is to write our own reverse function to reverse a string

// A Simple C++ program to reverse a string
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Function to reverse a string
void reverseStr(string& str)
{
	int n = str.length();

	// Swap character starting from two
	// corners
	for (int i = 0; i < n / 2; i++)
		swap(str[i], str[n - i - 1]);
}

// Driver program
int main()
{
	string str = "hello";
	reverseStr(str);
	cout << str;
	return 0;
}

Using inbuilt “reverse” function: There is a direct function in “algorithm” header file for doing reverse that saves our time when programming.

// A quickly written program for reversing a string
// using reverse()
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
	string str = "hello";

	// Reverse str[begin..end]
	reverse(str.begin(), str.end());

	cout << str;
	return 0;
}

Conclusion

Here, in this tutorial, we have learned different approaches of reversing a string or to print the given string from backwards.
