I love all your tutorials. I see often in the comments some smart code which for a beginner like myself means nothing- maybe,will be valuable in the future, but your tutorials are in depth which drives in my understanding of the programming concepts. Please keep doing what you are doing. Bless you.

How this code reverses the input string? It works but I am not sure if I understood the mechanics of it. Can you explain a little bit more.

[@AmulsAcademy]

def reverse(string): reversed_string = "" for i in string: reversed_string = i + reversed_string print("reversed string is:",reversed_string) string = input("enter the string:") print("entered string is:",string) reverse(string) Here first , string = input("enter the string") will be executed, so you need to enter the input, if you enter "amuls" this string will be stored in variable string Next it will execute , print("entered string is:",string) so it will print entered string to the output screen. Next it will execute function call that is, reverse (string) so now control goes to the reverse function definition, so it will execute that function. def reverse(string) here string is the input that is "amuls", next we will take one variable and we assign empty string to that. reversed_string = "" here reversed_string is a variable which will hold final output. next for loop, for i in string: reversed_string = i + reversed_string so here string is "amuls", so initially variable i value will be 'a', so it will execute for loop body , reversed_string = i + reversed_string here we are doing string concatenation, symbol + is used for concatenation of strings. reversed_string is initially empty string and i value is 'a' so it will concatenate 'a'and empty string, so we will get reversed_string as 'a' that is, reversed_string = i + reversed_string = 'a' + "" = 'a' next again control goes to for loop, now i value becomes 'm', it will execute for loop body, reversed_string = i + reversed_string = 'm' + 'a' = "ma" in this same way it will continue the execution:)

Str="David" str[::-1]

[@melissahuerta8315]

thanks for the explanation, at first I was confused too.. reading the string as it was an array like str[I] and in my mind it got the same order.. but now is clear :)

[@sultanahmadsabawoon6030]

still confused. make the code as reversed_string + i. in this case it will give you the same string as entered initially. the trick is that the i value is cancatenated with reversed string not the other way around.

hi i learn a lot from your videos and check my below code which is more simply than the above one. print("enter anything to be reversed") x=input() length=len(x) for i in range(length-1,-1,-1): print(x[i],end="")

[@PassionateSaksham]

What the Meaning Of -1,-1,-1 Here Please Answer Me

[@ralphmachado8201]

@@PassionateSaksham 1: length-1 means that the for loop will start from the index number which is one less than the length of the string to be reversed 2: -1 is the number untill which the for loop will run 3: -1 is the amount which will be decremented after every iteration and this will continue until the number reaches till -1.

After reversing the string, slice the string [ first 2 char and rest char] then use upper function for first substring then concatenate :)

wrd=input("Please enter a word") wrd=str(wrd) rvs=wrd[::-1] print(rvs) if wrd == rvs: print("This word is a palindrome") else: print("This word is not a palindrome") "could you explain this"

[@AmulsAcademy]

This program is to reverse the entered string and to check whether it is palindrome or not. 1. wrd=input("Please enter a word") you are asking user to enter the string and it will be stored in variable wrd. 2. wrd=str(wrd) if you are using python 3 then no need to write this line. here you are converting entered input to string, but in python 3 by_default whatever the input you enter it will treat that as string. 3. rvs=wrd[::-1] here it will reverse the string. you are using slicing operation here . syntax of slicing is string_name[start:end:step] start - starting integer where the slicing of the object starts. stop - integer until which the slicing takes place. The slicing stops at index stop - 1. step - integer value which determines the increment between each index for slicing. In the above program you didn't mention start and end so it will take entire string. -1 is the step . So, when you do string_name[::-1] , it starts from the end, towards the first, taking each element. So it reverses the string. 4. print(rvs) you are printing the reversed output. 5. if wrd == rvs: print("This word is a palindrome") else: print("This word is not a palindrome") in this if else condition you are checking whether the entered string is palindrome or not. A string is said to be palindrome if reverse of the string is same as string. that's why we are checking wrd==rvs here wrd is the entered input or original string rvs is reversed string if both are same then the string is palindrome if not then not a palindrome. :)

can you please add an example of how to reverse words of a given string using for loop. for example given string is "amuls academy of python" and i want the result string as "python of academy amuls". there are many ways to do this using split() and join() method but I want to do this using for loop. Please add a video on this. Thanks

Try this:) sentence = input("enter the input string:") answer = '' temp = '' for char in sentence: if char != ' ' and char!='.': temp += char elif char=='.': answer = char + temp + ' ' + answer temp = '' else: answer = temp + ' ' + answer temp = '' answer = temp + ' ' + answer print(answer)

[@davidusharauli2227]

Thanks for reply. but why would for loop add m before a like m+a and not standard way a+m? this part is main part and your reply did not make it clear. if one puts 'amuls'[::-1] it makes sense to reverse. But why would x = i+var should loop from left to write rather than from right to left?

[@AmulsAcademy]

hey, In the string concatenation, 'a' + 'm' is 'am' 'm' + 'a' is 'ma' for i in string: reversed_string = i +reversed_string here string is amuls, so first i value becomes 'a' so for loop executes for i='a', so , reversed_string = i +reversed_string [ here, = 'a' + "" = 'a' [ i = 'a' [ reversed-string = '"" [ empty string ] Now reversed_string is 'a' so next i value becomes 'm' reversed_string = i +reversed_string = 'm' + 'a' ='ma' so reversed_string is 'ma' now. here we are doing, i+reversed_string so we get string is reversed order, that is 'sluma' if we write, reversed_string + i we will get the same string, that is "amuls" :)

[@AmulsAcademy]

Because you are using python 2, in the output: first a message will display that is, enter a string: here you need to enter string that is, "amuls" [ you need to write your input within the double quotes ] Because In python 3 input() by default treat input as string. But in python 2 input() will evaluate the input. OR you can write code like this: python 2's raw_input is equal to python 3's input() so instead of input() you can use raw_input() def reverse(str): reversed_str="" for i in str: reversed_str= i+reversed_str print "reversed string is:",reversed_str str = raw_input("enter a string:") print "entered string", str reverse(str) here you can enter input without double quotes:)
