Reverse the String Problem Statement

You are given a string STR which contains alphabets, numbers, and special characters. Your task is to reverse the string.

Example:

Input:

STR = "abcde"

Output:

"edcba"

Input:

The first line of input contains a single integer 'T', representing the number of test cases.

Each test case consists of one line containing the string 'STR'.

Output:

For each test case, output the reversed string of 'STR'. Each result must be printed on a new line.

Example:

Input: 2 hello world!

Output: olleh !dlrow

Constraints:

1 ≤ T ≤ 10

1 ≤ |STR| ≤ 10^5, where |STR| is the length of the string STR.

Time limit: 1 second.

Note:

Just implement the function; you do not need to print anything.

Accepted Answer

The task is to reverse a given string that may contain lowercase letters, uppercase letters, digits, and special characters.

Iterate through the string from the last character to the first character and append each character to a new string.
Alternatively, you can use built-in string reversal functions or methods available in your programming language.
To solve the follow-up question with O(1) space complexity, you can use a two-pointer approach. Swap the characters at the start and end positions, and move the pointers towards the center until they meet.
