reverse string without using any C# function

Question

hi

i want to reverse string just like

input is "My Name is Khan"

output is "Khan is Name My"

my function is

public sring reverse()

{

string str=" my name is khan";

string str1=string.empty;

string[] strArr=str.split(' ');

for (int i=strArr.length; i>0; i--)

{

str1=str1+strArr[i]+" ";

}

return str1;

}

this is right function to reverse string  as i want

i don't to use split function as we used in my code str.split(' ');

so please give me logic how we can reverse a string without using split function

thanks in advance

Hi,

 try it this way:

Console.WriteLine("Pleae enter a string, print enter to end");
string input = Console.ReadLine();
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
int i = input.Length-1;
while (i != - 1)
{
      sb.Append(input[i--]);
}
Console.WriteLine("Reverse stirng is " + sb.ToString());

Or:

    public string Reverse(string str)
    {
            int len = str.Length;
            char[] arr = new char[len];

            for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)
            {
                   arr[i] = str[len - 1 - i];
            }
            return new string(arr);
    }

Answer 5

The do it without C# functions,  you'll have to use a different language.  Use VB.NET.

Answer 6

        public string Reverse(string str)
        {
            return new string(str.Reverse().ToArray());
        }

Hello,

Test my code!

string text = "my name is Ehsan!";
string reverse = string.Empty;
foreach (char ch in text)
{
    reverse = ch + reverse;
}

Answer 8

Hello,

Test my code!

string text = "my name is Ehsan!";

string reverse = string.Empty;

foreach (char ch in text)

{

    reverse = ch + reverse;

}

Beautiful. You can't get much simpler than this (without using builtin functions.)

Please mark this post as answer if it solved your problem. Happy Programming!

Answer 9

All you guys have shown code that totally reverses the string, and that's not what the OP wanted.

"My Name is Bonnie" should end up being "Bonnie is Name My". With the code that's been shown thusfar (except for the OP's code with the use of the .Split() method), the result would be "einnoB si emaN yM". That's not what he wanted.

@nitinsharma1983 -- what the heck is wrong with using .Split() and why the heck would you not want to take advantage of the capabilities of the language?

Hi,

Your solution for your question should be the best.

Maybe you can override the Method string reverse(string original){...} and use your solutions here. After that, whenever you want to reserve the string, just call the function.

Hope it helps!

Answer 11

you can do as follows to reverse words in a string!

string value = "My Name is ehsan";
string reverse = string.Empty;

char chSplit = ' ';

string[] words = value.Split(new char[] { chSplit }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
foreach (string word in words)
{
    reverse = word + chSplit + reverse;
}

Here is another approach using C#:  http://wp.me/pRJom-5A

Answer 13

string MainString = "Windows 8 rocks all over the World for its Metro Design"

string[] splitedstring = MainString.Split(' ');

string rev = "";

foreach (string str in splitedstring)

            {

for(int i=splitedstring.Length-1;i>=0;i--)

            {

                rev = rev + splitedstring[i] + " ";

            }

           }

Console.WriteLine(rev);

Tested Properly.....

Answer 15

I think this may be more of what you are looking for.  Basically its a simple C++ programming interview question.  Replace a string in place.  For C# I believe you have to use StringBuilder instead of string since strings are immutable and don't like to be changed like that.

        static void Reverse(ref StringBuilder str, int startIndex, int endIndex)
        {
            while (startIndex < endIndex)
            {
                char t = str[startIndex];
                str[startIndex++] = str[endIndex];
                str[endIndex--] = t;
            }
        }

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            StringBuilder str = new StringBuilder("String To Reverse");
            Reverse(ref str, 0, str.Length-1);

            int wordStartIndex = 0;
            for(int j = 0; j < str.Length; j++)
            {
                if (str[j] == ' ')
                {
                    Reverse(ref str, wordStartIndex, j-1);
                    wordStartIndex = ++j; // increment past the ' '
                }
            }
            Reverse(ref str, i, str.Length-1);  // reverse the last word in the string
        }
