Reverse a string of characters [duplicate] - python

I tried this code but I don't know how input the characters one per line and how to stop the input sequence with the character 0.
def reverse(string):
if len(string) == 0:
return string
else:
return reverse(string[1:]) + string[0]
a = str(input())
print(reverse(a))

In python you can usually reverse an iterable with [::-1].
It should work on strings as well, I guess. So: 'hello'[::-1] gives 'olleh'.

I know how to replace characters, but I would like to have the instance done once. My code replace's all the characters before.
string = "Forever9999"
string = string[:-4] + string[-4:].replace("9", "1")
Which in the end would be Forever1999, but I get Forever1111
Any help appreciated.
You can pass another paramter to str.replace(old, new[, count]), which is the max count of occurrences you want to replace:
string.replace("9", "1", 1)
# 'Forever1999'

Let's say I have an input:
SA3213023215
I want to move the SA to the very end of the input.
How can I do this?
Assuming that SA3213023215 is a string (which input is by default), you could use string slicing:
s = "SA3213023215"
s2 = s[2:] + s[:2]
# yields 3213023215SA

Replacing all characters of a given string with a specific single character python with no loops [duplicate]

replace all characters in a string with asterisks

Closed 4 years ago.
str0 = input("Enter str: ")
str0 = str0.replace(str0, '_')
print(str0)
I need to replace each one of the characters without using loops or conditions
str0 = input("Enter str: ")
str0 = '_'*len(str0)
print(str0)
Should work. The multiplication puts the right amount of _'s so that all of them are replaced.

i want to reverse the order of characters in a string
so take strings as arguments
and return s new string with letters of the original string
example - "hello" would return "olleh"
All I have gotten to is:
def reverse(" "):
string = input("Give me a word")
x = ord(string)
print(x)
You can do it like this:
"hello"[::-1]
You can read about extended-slices here
