=={{header|8080 Assembly}}==
 
This is a routine that reverses a string with a terminator in place.
 
Back when the 8080 was commonly used, there wasn't really a set standard about how to store strings.
Zero-terminated strings were already in use by the C language (and therefore, programs written in it).
CP/M, on the other hand, used <code>$</code> as a string terminator. (Later versions would even allow
the programmer to set it himself with a system call!) Therefore, to allow for some flexibility,
this routine also allows you to set it yourself, using the A register.
 
There were other ways of representing strings, like setting the high bit of the last character to mark
the end (saves a byte per string, but halves the character set size), or prepending the length
(making it unnecessary to scan through the string to find the end, but capping string size at
255 bytes), or even storing tuples of lengths and pointers (easy for a garbage collector to manage).
These are not supported, as they would be completely different routines, though the <code>arrayrev</code>
entry point will reverse a byte array if you already have its start and end.
 
Unicode is not supported either. While it wouldn't be impossible to do, I think writing a full UTF-8
implementation is beyond the scope of the task.

set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
 
'''NB.''' Since coercing lists to string involves the interpolation of the current value of AppleScript's text item delimiters between the list items, it's considered best practice to set the delimiters ''explicitly'' to their default value of <code>{""}</code> (or just <code>""</code>) before doing an operation like this, in case they've been set to something else elsewhere in the script:
set temp to (reverse of text items of str)
 
set temp to (text items of temp) as Unicode text
<syntaxhighlight lang="applescript">reverseString("Hello World!")
 
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to old_delim
on reverseString(str)
return temp
set astid to AppleScript's text item delimiters
end reverse_string</lang>
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
set reversedString to reverse of characters of str as text
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to astid
return reversedString
end reverseString</syntaxhighlight>
----
Or, if we want a polymorphic '''reverse()''' for both strings and lists, we can define it either in terms of a generic fold/reduce, or using the built-in method for lists:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="applescript">-- Using either a generic foldr(f, a, xs)
 
-- reverse1 :: [a] -> [a]
on reverse1(xs)
script rev
on |λ|(a, x)
a & x
end |λ|
end script
if class of xs is text then
foldr(rev, {}, xs) as text
else
foldr(rev, {}, xs)
end if
end reverse1
 
-- or the built-in reverse method for lists
 
-- reverse2 :: [a] -> [a]
on reverse2(xs)
if class of xs is text then
(reverse of characters of xs) as text
else
reverse of xs
end if
end reverse2
 
 
-- TESTING reverse1 and reverse2 with same string and list ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
on run
script test
on |λ|(f)
map(f, ["Hello there !", {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}])
end |λ|
end script
map(test, [reverse1, reverse2])
end run

-- foldr :: (a -> b -> a) -> a -> [b] -> a
on foldr(f, startValue, xs)
tell mReturn(f)
set v to startValue
set lng to length of xs
repeat with i from lng to 1 by -1
set v to |λ|(v, item i of xs, i, xs)
end repeat
return v
end tell
end foldr
 
-- map :: (a -> b) -> [a] -> [b]
on map(f, xs)

set lng to length of xs
set lst to {}
repeat with i from 1 to lng
set end of lst to |λ|(item i of xs, i, xs)

C# does not have a built-in Reverse method for strings, and cannot reverse them in place because they are immutable. One way to implement this is to convert the string to an array of characters, reverse that, and return a new string from the reversed array:
<syntaxhighlight lang="csharp">static string ReverseString(string input)
{
char[] inputChars = input.ToCharArray();
Array.Reverse(inputChars);
return new string(inputChars);
}</syntaxhighlight>
 
As of .Net 3.5 the LINQ-to-objects allows the Reverse() extension method to be called on a string, since String implements the IEnumerable<char> interface. Because of this, the return type of Reverse is IEnumerable<char>. Fortunately, LINQ also provides the ToArray extension method, which can be used in conjunction with the constructor of string that accepts a char array:
<lang cpp>#include <iostream>
<syntaxhighlight lang="csharp">using System.Linq;
#include <string>
#include <algorithm>
 
// ...
int main()
 
return new string(input.Reverse().ToArray());
 
// ...</syntaxhighlight>
 
'''Version supporting combining characters:'''
 
System.Globalization.StringInfo provides a means of separating a string into individual graphemes.
<syntaxhighlight lang="csharp">public string ReverseElements(string s)
{
// In .NET, a text element is series of code units that is displayed as one character, and so reversing the text
// elements of the string correctly handles combining character sequences and surrogate pairs.
var elements = System.Globalization.StringInfo.GetTextElementEnumerator(s);
return string.Concat(AsEnumerable(elements).OfType<string>().Reverse());
}
 
// Wraps an IEnumerator, allowing it to be used as an IEnumerable.
public IEnumerable AsEnumerable(IEnumerator enumerator)
{
while (enumerator.MoveNext())
yield return enumerator.Current;
}</syntaxhighlight>

As of C# 4.0 you can call the Reverse method on a string, however it returns an Enumerable of chars. It appears that this only helps by letting you do the above in a different order (reverse the string, convert that to an array of chars, and return a new string from the reversed array):

=== Basic reverse ===
For normal strings, the reverse function can be used to do the bulk of the work. However, it returns a character sequence, which has to be converted back to a string.
 
=== A Simple implementation with the magic of "conj" function ===
<lang lisp>(defn str-reverse [s] (apply str (reverse s)))</lang>
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="lisp">
=== Reverse words in a string ===
(defn reverse-string [s]
"Returns a string with all characters in reverse"
(apply str (reduce conj '() s)))
</syntaxhighlight>
 
=== Other alternatives (resorting to the "reverse" function in the standard library)===
<lang lisp>(apply str (interpose " " (reverse (.split "the quick brown fox" " "))))</lang>
For normal strings, the reverse function can be used to do the bulk of the work. However, it returns a character sequence, which has to be converted back to a string.

b) <syntaxhighlight lang="lisp">(apply str (interpose " " (reverse (.split "the quick brown fox" " "))))</syntaxhighlight>
 
=== Supporting combining characters ===
Handling combining characters present a trickier task. We need to protect the relative ordering of the combining character and the character to its left. Thus, before reversing, the characters need to be grouped.

=={{header|Dart}}==
Since Dart strings are sequences of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-16 UTF-16] code units, it would not be sufficient to simply reverse the characters in strings, as this would not work with UTF-16 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-16#Code_points_U.2B10000_to_U.2B10FFFF surrogate pairs] (pairs of UTF-16 code units that represent single characters [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plane_(Unicode)#Supplementary_Multilingual_Plane outside the Unicode BMP]). However, Dart provides a method to convert strings to sequences of unicode code points (called "runes" in Dart), and these sequences can easily be reversed and used to create new strings, so a string reversal function can be written with a single line of Dart code:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="dart">String reverse(String s) => new String.fromCharCodes(s.runes.toList().reversed);</syntaxhighlight>
 
A more complete example with unit tests would look like this:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="dart">import 'package:unittest/unittest.dart';
 
String reverse(String s) => new String.fromCharCodes(s.runes.toList().reversed);
 
main() {
group("Reverse a string -", () {
test("Strings with ASCII characters are reversed correctly.", () {
expect(reverse("hello, world"), equals("dlrow ,olleh"));
});
test("Strings with non-ASCII BMP characters are reversed correctly.", () {
expect(reverse("\u4F60\u4EEC\u597D"), equals("\u597D\u4EEC\u4F60"));
});

In this language, strings are very limited and are not designed to store large text data, so there are no built-in operations to work with strings. But with the C API you can make functions that convert a string to a list and vice versa.
<syntaxhighlight lang="c">
#define MAXSTRINGLEN ( 1024 )
 
/* chop string to list of single character strings */
static fe_Object* chop(fe_Context *ctx, fe_Object *args) {
char buf[MAXSTRINGLEN];
int len = fe_tostring(ctx, fe_nextarg(ctx, &args), buf, sizeof(buf));
int gc = fe_savegc(ctx);
args = fe_bool(ctx, 0);
while (len > 0) {
buf[len--] = '\0';
args = fe_cons(ctx, fe_string(ctx, buf + len), args);
fe_restoregc(ctx, gc);
fe_pushgc(ctx, args);
}
return args;
}
 
/* pack list of strings to single string */
static fe_Object* pack(fe_Context *ctx, fe_Object *args) {
char buf[MAXSTRINGLEN], *ptr = buf;
for (args = fe_nextarg(ctx, &args); !fe_isnil(ctx, args);) {
ptr += fe_tostring(ctx, fe_nextarg(ctx, &args), ptr, buf + sizeof(buf) - ptr);
}
return fe_string(ctx, buf);
}
</syntaxhighlight>
So, we can manipulate strings like lists:
<syntaxhighlight lang="clojure">
; reverse list
(= reverse (fn (lst)
(let res nil)
(while lst
(= res (cons (car lst) res))
(= lst (cdr lst)))
res))
 
; chop string to list, reverse list and pack it back to string
(print (pack (reverse (chop "Hello world!"))))

=== Using the Forth-2012 Xchars wordset to handle multi-byte characters ===
 
Characters accessed with C@ C! are usually bytes and can therefore only represent characters in 8-bit encodings (e.g., Latin-1). Forth-2012 added the Xchars wordset for dealing with multi-byte encodings such as UTF-8; actually these words are not needed much, because the magic of UTF-8 means that most byte-oriented code works as intended, but the present task is one of the few examples where that is not good enough.
 
The xchars wordset offers several ways to skin this cat; this is just one way to do it, not necessarily the best one. Because the xchars wordset currently does not support recognizing combining characters, this code does not get extra credit.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="forth">: xreverse {: c-addr u -- c-addr2 u :}
u allocate throw u + c-addr swap over u + >r begin ( from to r:end)

=={{header|Frink}}==
The built-in <CODE>reverse</CODE> function reverses a string or the elements of a list.
 
<lang frink>
Frink's built-in <CODE>reverse[''string'']</CODE> is quite smart and uses a grapheme-based algorithm to handle Unicode correctly. That is, it preserves "user-perceived characters" that may consist of characters, combining accents, high-plane Unicode characters (that is, above U+FFFF,) surrogate pairs, ''etc.'' correctly.
println[reverse["abcdef"]]
 
</lang>
Many languages will not work correctly with upper-plane Unicode characters because they are represented as Unicode "surrogate pairs" which are represented as two characters in a UTF-16 stream.
 
For example, the string "g\u0308o" represents a g with combining diaeresis, followed by the letter o. Or, in other words, "g̈o". Note that while there are three Unicode codepoints, only two "graphemes" are displayed. Using Frink's smart "reverse" function preserves these combined graphemes. A naive reverse would move the diaeresis over the o instead of the g.

Functions below assume UTF-8 encoding. (The task mentions Unicode but does not specify an encoding.) Strings in Go are not restricted to be UTF-8, but Go has good support for it and works with UTF-8 most natually. As shown below, certain string conversions work in UTF-8 and the range clause over a string works in UTF-8. Go also has a Unicode package in the standard library that mademakes easy work of recognizing combining characters for this task.

Extra credit:
First, a function to determine whether a Unicode character is a combining character:
<langsyntaxhighlight lang="j"> ranges=.16b02ff 16b036f, 16b1dbf 16b1dff, 16b20cf 16b20ff, 16bfe1f 16bfe2f
iscombining=. 2 | ranges&I.</langsyntaxhighlight>
 
Then we need to box groups of letters and combining characters, reverse, and unbox. The boxing function can be carried out easily with dyad cut, which uses the indices of the ones on the right as the starting points for groups of characters. For clarity, its inverse will be defined as raze, which simply runs together the items inside boxes of its argument.
<langsyntaxhighlight lang="j"> split=. (<;.1~ -.@iscombining) :. ;</langsyntaxhighlight>
 
After this, the solution is just to reverse under the split transformation. This also takes place under J code to convert from Unicode to integers.

=={{header|Java}}==
 
<lang java>public static String reverseString(String s) {
=== Reverse Unicode Codepoints ===

Reversing codepoints works in most cases when reversing single characters wherever they are encoded on multi-bytes or not. But this doesn't work for composed characters.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="java">
String reversed = new StringBuilder("as⃝df̅").reverse().toString(); // fd⃝sa
String reversed = new StringBuffer("as⃝df̅").reverse().toString(); // fd⃝sa
</syntaxhighlight>
 
Alternately, you could use a for-loop with the same issue.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="java">
String string = "as⃝df̅";

=== Reverse Unicode Graphemes ===
 
A third-party solution is to use [https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.ibm.icu/icu4j ICU4J].
 
A native solution, since JDK 15, is to use <code>Pattern.compile( "\\X" )</code> from <code>java.util.regex</code> to parse grapemes.
 
Another native solution, since JDK 20, is to use <code>java.text.BreakIterator</code> class that now parse graphemes correctly<ref>https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8291660</ref>.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="java">

boundary.setText(text);
StringBuilder reversed = new StringBuilder();
int end = boundary.last();
int start = boundary.previous();
while (start != BreakIterator.DONE) {
reversed.append(text.substring(start, end));
end = start;
start = boundary.previous();
}
return reversed;

==== Split code points ====
 
<code><nowiki>split('')</nowiki></code> (with empty string argument) works only for ASCII. For Unicode strings, one of the two following methods can be used.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript">
example = 'Tux 🐧 penguin';
 
// array expansion operator
[...example].reverse().join('') // 'niugnep 🐧 xuT'
// split regexp separator with Unicode mode
example.split(/(?:)/u).reverse().join('') // 'niugnep 🐧 xuT'
 
// do not use
example.split('').reverse().join(''); // 'niugnep \udc27\ud83d xuT'
</syntaxhighlight>
 
==== Split graphemes =====
 
More generally, one would want to combine characters such as joining emojis or diacritics to be handled properly so enumerating over graphemes is a must.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript">
a = "\u{1F466}\u{1F3FB}\u{1f44b}"; // '👦🏻👋'
 
// wrong behavior - ASCII sequences
a.split('').reverse().join(''); // '\udc4b🁦\ud83d'
 
// wrong behavior - Unicode code points
[...a].reverse().join(''); // '👋🏻👦'
a.split(/(?:)/u).reverse().join(''); // '👋🏻👦'
 
// correct behavior - Unicode graphemes
[...new Intl.Segmenter().segment(a)].map(x => x.segment).reverse().join('') // 👋👦🏻

A string is stored as a zero-terminated array of character codes. To reverse it, we first scan forwards until we find the end; we then move backwards again, copying each code into a block of memory we have reserved for the purpose; and finally, when we have got back to the beginning, we append a terminal zero to the new string we have created. We can then call <tt>PUTS</tt> to print it.

To reverse a string byte-wise, the ByteArray data type has to be used:
<syntaxhighlight lang="lingo">on reverseBytes (str)
ba = byteArray(str)

repeat with i = ba.length down to 1
res[res.length+1] = ba[i]
end repeat

=== Unicode codepoints ===
 
Since Nim 0.11.0, the <code>unicode</code> module provides a [https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/unicode.html#reversed%2Cstring <code>reversed</code>] proc...
Hence:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="nim">
import unicode
 
doAssert "foobar".reversed == "raboof"
doAssert "先秦兩漢".reversed == "漢兩秦先"
</syntaxhighlight>
 
This proc is enumerating codepoints so it will work with Unicode multi-bytes characters. A special handling was added so it's supports composing as well but since it's not enumerating graphemes it won't work with joining.
 
=== Unicode graphemes ===
 
There is no native method to handle grapheme currently.

<langsyntaxhighlight lang="oz">{System.showInfo {Reverse "!dlroW olleH"}}</langsyntaxhighlight>
 
An efficient (tail-recursive) implementation could look like this:
<langsyntaxhighlight lang="oz">local
fun {DoReverse Xs Ys}
case Xs of nil then Ys
Line 972 ⟶ 3,291:
in
fun {Reverse Xs} {DoReverse Xs nil} end
end</langsyntaxhighlight>
 
Oz uses a single-byte encoding by default. If you decide to use a multi-byte encoding, Reverse will not work correctly.

However that would go horribly wrong on utf8 strings, even without combining characters, so... this seems ok on "as\u203Ddf\u0305", as long as it is displayed in a message box rather than a Windows Console (even with chcp 65001 and Lucida Console, the characters do not combine). It actually works better under pwa/p2js than on desktop/Phix, you can find a copy of this code in demo/HelloUTF8.exw which outputs the result in a message box and therefore looks much better on the latter.<br>
Note that [[XXXX_redacted#Phix]] adds some ZERO-WIDTH-JOINER handling to the inner code.

<lang php>strrev($string)</lang>
=== Unicode ===
 
==== Code points ====
 
If you want Unicode support, you have to use some multibyte function. Sadly, PHP doesn't contain <code>mb_strrev()</code>. One of functions which support Unicode and is useful in this case is <code>preg_split()</code>.
<syntaxhighlight lang="php">
// Will split every Unicode character to array, reverse array and will convert it to string.
join('', array_reverse(preg_split('""u', $string, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY)));
</syntaxhighlight>
 
With PHP 7.4+ and 8+, it's also possible to use <code>mb_str_split()</code>, which may ends easier.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="php">
implode('', array_reverse(mb_str_split($string)));
</syntaxhighlight>
 
==== Graphemes ====
 
When using combining characters such as diacritics or ZWJ (joining), reversing code points will mess with the result, reversing the graphemes instead is mandatory. This is generally the best and safest approach. As there is no <code>grapheme_reverse()</code> function or grapheme iterator, one has to implement it with <code>grapheme_strlen</code> and <code>grapheme_substr</code>. In PHP, there is no Unicode escape sequence so to specify characters by code point a tricks must be used: for example, using the escape sequence of HTML entities and then convert it to a Unicode encoding such as UTF-8.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="php">
$a = mb_convert_encoding('&#x1F466;&#x1F3FB;&#x1f44b;', 'UTF-8', 'HTML-ENTITIES'); // 👦🏻👋
 
function str_to_array($string)
{
$length = grapheme_strlen($string);
$ret = [];
 
for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i += 1) {
 
$ret[] = grapheme_substr($string, $i, 1);
}
 
return $ret;
}
 
function utf8_strrev($string)
{
return implode(array_reverse(str_to_array($string)));
}
 
print_r(utf8_strrev($a)); // 👋👦🏻
</syntaxhighlight>

be taken primarily in the output step to serialize the Unicode string
into something the sink can handle. IO functions will throw an error

Reversing ASCII byte-slice (in-place):

Reversing Unicode scalar values:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="rust">let output: String = "一二三四五六七八九十".chars().rev().collect();
assert_eq!(output, "十九八七六五四三二一");</syntaxhighlight>
 
Reversing a <code>Chars</code> iterator doesn't solve the complete problem, because it iterates unicode scalar values, which doesn't account for combining marks:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="rust">let output: String = "as⃝df̅".chars().rev().collect();
assert_ne!(output, "f̅ds⃝a"); // should be this
assert_eq!(output, "̅fd⃝sa");</syntaxhighlight>
 
Reversing graphemes clusters, which is provided by the [https://unicode-rs.github.io/unicode-segmentation/unicode_segmentation/struct.Graphemes.html unicode-segmentation] crate, solves the problem:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="rust">use unicode_segmentation::UnicodeSegmentation;

Here is an 8-bit version:
<syntaxhighlight lang="s-lang">variable sa = "Hello, World", aa = Char_Type[strlen(sa)+1];
init_char_array(aa, sa);
array_reverse(aa);
% print(aa);
 
% Unfortunately, strjoin() only joins strings, so we map char()
% [sadly named: actually converts char into single-length string]
% onto the array:
print( strjoin(array_map(String_Type, &char, aa), "") );</syntaxhighlight>
 
Output: "dlroW ,olleH"
 
For a Unicode version, we'll create a variant of init_char_array().
Side note: If needed, strbytelen() would give total length of string.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="s-lang">define init_unicode_array(a, buf)
{
variable len = strbytelen(buf), ch, p0 = 0, p1 = 0;
while (p1 < len) {
(p1, ch) = strskipchar(buf, p1, 1);
if (ch < 0) print("oops.");
a[p0] = ch;
p0++;
}
}
 
variable su = "Σὲ γνωρίζω ἀπὸ τὴν κόψη";
variable au = Int_Type[strlen(su)+1];
init_unicode_array(au, su);
array_reverse(au);
% print(au);
print(strjoin(array_map(String_Type, &char, au), "") );</syntaxhighlight>
 
Output: "ηψόκ νὴτ ὸπἀ ωζίρωνγ ὲΣ"
 
Note: The init...array() functions include the terminating '\0' chars, but
we don't have to filter them out as char(0) produces a zero-length string.

This only handles ASCII characters. It works by converting a string to an array of char; dropping the last character (which is the null byte); reversing the order of the characters; then converting back to a string.

These only handle ASCII characters, no extra credit.
<pre>"this is a test".reverse()</pre>
Old school ways to do it:
 
Build by prepending characters, creates n strings:
<pre>"this is a test".reduce(fcn(p,c){c+p})</pre>
Convert to list, reverse, convert back to string:
<pre>"this is a test".split("").reverse().concat()</pre>
Write to a byte buffer and convert to string:
<pre>"this is a test".pump(Void,Data().insert.fp(0)).text</pre>
The ".fp(0)" creates a closure so each character is fed to data.insert(0,c). pump is a method that sends each character to a function to a sink (in this case /dev/null). The output is the result of the last call, which is data.insert which is self/data.

We can use `.*` to dereference a literal string pointer to an array, and use `std.mem.reverse` to reverse the slice of that array in-place:
<syntaxhighlight lang="zig">
var s = "socat".*;
std.mem.reverse(u8, &s);
</syntaxhighlight>
or:
<syntaxhighlight lang="zig">
var s = "socat".*;
std.mem.reverse(u8, s[0..]);
</syntaxhighlight>
String `s` now becomes `"tacos"`.
