Day 2 -- String Reversal and Palindrome

Part A -- String Reversal

Question - Given a string, write a program to return a new string with reversed order of characters.

ques for Day 2

// Step 1: Strings are immutable (in JavaScript), hence convert it into array.
// Step 2: Run a loop from 0 to (size of array)/2 and interchange the element at i index with element at position size-1-i 
// Step 3: Join the array to form a string

function strRev (str) {
    var i, j, temp, len = str.length;

    // Strings are immutable in javascript, hence we convert the string into an array
    str = str.split('');

    // Reverse the array elements by interchanging the elements which are equidistant from start and end
    for (i=0, j=len-1; i<=len/2; i++, j--) {
        temp = str[i];
        str[i] = str[j];
        str[j] = temp;

    // Join the reversed array into a string

    // Return the reversed string

}

/**

// Step 1: Declare a temporary array, say tempArr[]
// Step 2: Run a loop from size-1 to 0 and add corresponding character of string to the tempArr[] from beginning
// Method 2.1 (Add using index)
// for (i=0, j=len-1; i<len; i++, j--) {
//     tempArr[i] = str[j];

// Method 2.2 (Add using `push()` )

// Step 3: Join the elements of the tempArr[] to form a string

/**
 * @author MadhavBahlMD
 * @date 21/12/2018
 */

// Step 1: Declare an empty string, say reverse = ''
// Step 2: Run a loop from 0 to length of string
// Step 3: For each letter of original string, concatenate reverse with it. (concatenate each element of string with reverse string, such that element gets concatenated before the current reverse string)

// Using basic string concatenation
function strRev (str) {
    // Initialize an empty string "Reverse"
    let reverse = '';

    for (i=0; i<str.length; i++) {
        // for each letter of original string, concatenate reverse with it

// Method 5 -- Using reduce helper

// Using reduce helper function (JS only)

    // return str.split('').reduce((reversed, character) => {
    //     return character+reversed;
    // }, '');
