Reversing string but keeping form. (Java)

[LuisHappy]

I've confused on how I would be able to reverse a string but still be able to keep the form. one example I have is, "*|| *| |||" but it would have to look like this when reversed "||| *| *||".

 

I currently have a way to reverse it using for loops but I can't find a way to keep the form.

A simple way would be to create an array list and add each new word (look for spaces) as a new element in the list. Then just print out the list backwards.

Yes use string.split() function and print the resulting array from highest index to 0

You could parse it into a char-array and reverse it using a for-loop, where you iterate from the highest index to 0, and simply add the chars to your new string.

Something like this: (Didnt test it, so no promises this snipplet will work).

		String s = "abcd";
		String newString = null;
		char[] c = s.toCharArray();
		for (int i = c.length-1; i >= 0; i--) {
			newString += c[i];
		}

 

EDIT: Nevermind. I didnt realise you wanted to reverse the order of the words, and not the characters. Either way, you can use this solution if you use s.split(" ") into a String-array instead of s.toCharArrary()

I think you guys got him wrong. Look at his example

 

You have to split the String at the spaces, so you get a String-array. Then you can use @Claryn's loop to reverse it.
