How to Reverse a String in Javascript

Today's tip is about how to reverse a string in Javascript, using only one line of code.

Explanation

If you are given a string to reverse. As an example, let's say you were asked to reverse my name 😜, Wemimo. This can be broken down to 4 steps 👇👇👇

const toReverse = 'Wemimo';

const toReverse = str => str.split('').reverse().join('');

Example: 

console.log(toReverse('Wemimo'));

//Expected output: omimeW

Step One

- Split the given string into an array of substrings (a substring is a character between a string)

stepOne = toReverse.split('');

Step Two

- Reverse the array of substrings

stepTwo = stepOne.split('');

Step Three

- Join the substrings together to have a single string

stepThree = stepOne.reverse();

Step Four

- Join the substrings together to have a single string

stepThree = stepTwo.join('');

With these 4 steps you will be able to reverse any given string. That will be all for me today. Remember to stay positive 💡 &  ❤️
