Reverse a sentence in javascript without using inbuilt function

 function reverse1(str){
  var a = "";
  for(var i = 0; i <= str.length/2; i++){
    a = str[i];
    str[i] = str[str.length-i-1];
    str[str.length-i-1] = a;
  }
  return str;
}
var str = "abcdef";
reverse1(str);

I want to reverse a string without using any inbuilt function, and I want it to change the original string itself but it doesn't work well. The language is Javascript.

Here is the simplest way to do without using any javascript inbuilt function.

function reverse1(str){
  let r = "";
  for(let i = str.length-1; i >= 0; i--){
    r += str[i];
  }
  return r;
}

console.log(reverse1("javascript"))

Create a new string and add all the chars from the original string to it backwards:

function reverse1(str){
  var r = "";
  for(var i = str.length - 1; i >= 0; i--){
    r += str.charAt(i);
  }
  return r;
}

Then just say:

str = reverse1(str);

Javascript strings are immutable, you cannot simply replace a character with another one

function reverse1(str){
  var  len = str.length, result = "";
  for(var i = 0; i <= len-1; i++){
    result = result + str[len-i-1];
  }
  return result;
}
var str = "abcdef";
str = reverse1(str);
console.log(str);

You can always create a new string and return it though

Reverse the forloop iteration From high to low i-- used to decrement the value of i

function reverse1(str) {
str = str.trim();
var res ="";
   for(var i = str.length-1; i >= 0; i--){
      res +=str[i];
  }
  return res;
}
var str = "abcdef";
console.log(reverse1(str))

Well if you don't want to use the inbuilt functions here you go

var string = 'hello';
function reverse(str) {
  if(!str.trim() || 'string' !== typeof str) {
    return;
  }
  var length=str.length;
  s='';
  while(length > 0) {
    length--;
    s+= str[l];
  }
  return s;
}

console.log(reverse(string));

const reverseString = (str = null) => {
let newStr = [];
let string = "";
let reverseStr = "";
for (i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
   if (str[i] == " ") {
       newStr.push(string);
       string = "";
   } else {
       string += str[i];
   }
 }
if (string) {  
newStr.push(string);
} 
for (i = newStr.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
     reverseStr += newStr[i] + " ";
}
return reverseStr;
};
let val = reverseString("My name is mohd jagir");
console.log(val);
//output will be jagir mohd is name My

I think using below way is simple and clean.

function reverse(str) {

return str.split("").reduce((a,b)=> a = b + a ,"")

}

I think this question better answer is here. why char can't be change in a position.

Duplicate

function reverse(s){
    return s.split("").reverse().join("");
}
var originalString = "ABCD";
console.log(reverse(originalString));
console.log(originalString);
originalString = reverse(originalString);
console.log(originalString);
