Reverse a String in JavaScript: Two Fun Methods You Should Know! πŸš€

Hello and welcome!

In JavaScript, there are plenty of ways to manipulate strings, but reversing one is a classic problem every developer encounters! Let's consider how to do it using two cool methods.😎

Method 1: The Classic .reverse() Method.

This is the go-to approach for most devs. It's simple and efficient!

const string = "Hello, World!";
let reversedString = string.split("").reverse().join("");
console.log(reversedString); // "!dlroW ,olleH"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

How it works:

  1. We split the string into an array of characters using .split("").
  2. Then we use .reverse() to reverse the order of the characters.
  3. Finally, we use .join("") to return the characters to a string.

Easy, right? But there’s more! 😏

Method 2: The .reduceRight() Method.

Thank you for reading/watching and see you in the next one.
