How to implement string flip function in php

String flipping is a basic problem in computer science. It is frequently used both in algorithm competitions and in actual programming. In the PHP language, we can implement string flipping very simply, and this article will introduce two different methods.

Method 1: Use the strrev() function

PHP’s built-in function library has a function specifically used to flip strings, called strrev(). It is very simple and easy to use, you only need to pass in the string that needs to be flipped as a parameter. The following is the implementation sample code:

$str = "hello world";
echo strrev($str);

Run the above code, the output result is:

dlrow olleh

Method 2: Use for loop to implement

If you want to try to implement characters manually String flipping can be done using a for loop. The specific idea is to move the last character of the string to the new string in turn until the entire string is flipped. The following is the code implemented based on the for loop:

$str = "hello world";
$len = strlen($str);
$new_str = "";

for ($i = $len - 1; $i >= 0; $i--) {
    $new_str .= $str[$i];
}

echo $new_str;

In the above code, we first get the length of the string, then traverse the string in reverse order through the for loop, and splice each character into a new string one by one. in $new_str. Finally, we can output the new string.

It should be noted that PHP strings can be accessed directly using a method similar to array subscripts, so $str[$i] represents the character with subscript $i in the string $str.

Conclusion

This article introduces two different methods to achieve string flipping, namely using the built-in function strrev() and manually using a for loop. It should be noted that using the built-in function strrev() is more efficient, so this method is recommended in actual programming.
