Method 1:

public class StringReverse {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    String s = "code with siri";
    String str="";
    System.out.println("Original"+s);
    for(int i=s.length()-1;i>=0;i--){
      str = str+s.charAt(i);
    }
    System.out.println("Reversed"+str);
  }
}

Take string s = "code with siri"

we want to reverse the string in "iris htiw edoc"

finding length of the string using length() function: s.length()

for(int i=14-1; i>=0; i--)

i = 13 => str = str + s.charAt(i)

str = ""+i = i

decrementing i = i--

i = 12 => str = str + s.charAt(i)

str = i + r = ir

decrementing i = i--

i = 11 => str = str + s.charAt(i)

str = ir + i = iri

decrementing i = i--

i = 10 => str = str + s.charAt(i)

str = iri + s = iris

decrementing i = i--

i = 9 => str = str + s.charAt(i)

str = iris + " " = iris (added space after s)

decrementing i = i--

this process continued till i=0 Then print output as reversed string.

In this process, every iteration of the last character comes to the first.

Method 2:

public class StringReverse {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    String s = "code with siri";
    System.out.println("Original"+s);
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(s);
    sb.reverse();
    System.out.println("Reversed"+sb);
  }
}

StringBuilder is mutable. if we make any change in the StringBuilder it directly reflects on the string.

string assign to StringBuilder(s)

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(s);

Then sb. reverse(). It will reverse the string and print the reversed string

Method 3:

public class StringReverse {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    String s = "code with siri";
    System.out.println(s);
    char[] str = s.toCharArray();
    //finding the length of the array
    int len = str.length;
    for(int i=0,j=len-1;i<len/2;i++,j--){
      char temp = str[i];
      str[i] = str[j];
      str[j] = temp;
    }
    String r = new String(str);
    System.out.println("Reversed"+r);
  }
}

Converting the string into a character array

char[] str = s.toCharArray();

For loop in every iteration, first and last will be swapped and increment the starting index(i++) and decrement the last index(j--)

for(int i=0,j=len-1;i<len/2;i++,j--){
      char temp = str[i];
      str[i] = str[j];
      str[j] = temp;
    }

converting the character array to a string

String r = new String(str);

Finally, print the reversed string.

Recursion

Recursion without return:

public class StringReverse {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    String s = "siri";
    rev(s,s.length()-1);
  }
  public static void rev(String s,int len){
    if(len ==-1){
      return;
    }
    String str = "";
    str = str + s.charAt(len);

    System.out.print(str);
    //recursion call
    rev(s,len-1);
  }
}

output: iris

Recursion with return:

public class StringReverse {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    String s = "siri";
    System.out.println(rever(s, s.length()-1));
  }

  public static String rever(String s,int len){
    if(len ==-1){
      return "";
    }

    return s.charAt(len) + rever(s,len-1); 
  }
}

output: iris

Happy coding :)
