Strings, Loops
In this challenge, you need to reverse a string, keeping the word themselves in order, and preserving exact spacing.
For example, for the string:
" hello kitty "
This should produce:
" kitty hello "
(Note that we keep the 3 spaces before hello, the two spaces between “hello” and “kitty” and the space after “kitty”.
As a simple case, an empty string returns an empty string:
>>> rev("")
''
A simple word is also the same:
>>> rev("hello")
'hello'
Here, we reverse the order of the words, preserving the space between:
>>> rev("hello world")
'world hello'
Here, we reverse the worlds, preserving space—so it it should start with the 3 spaces that came after world, etc:
>>> rev(" hello world ")
' world hello '
We’ve provided a file, reversewords.py, with a stub function:
def rev(s):
"""Reverse word-order in string, preserving spaces."""
Implement this.
