Re: Reversing a string without using array, classes and reverse function

Show all headers | View raw

I attempted below given code, but it is neither displaying result nor 
error:

================CODE==========================
s = "This is to test reverse of a string"
len = s.length
for j in len..1 do
  mycommand = "s.scan(/.$/) {|x| puts x}"
  mycommand = mycommand.insert 7,"."
end
==============================================

What I am doing is to insert a period (.) in the seventh or eighth 
position on each loop.
