Reversing words (python3)

[lewdicrous]

1. I'm trying to reverse the first word in a sentence then move it to the end of the sentence without affecting the rest of the sentence (in this function)

For example, "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." becomes "quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The"

2. For the rest of the sentence, I want to move the last letter of each word to the front.

For example, (including what happens on top) "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."  becomes "kquic nbrow xfo sjump rove eth ylaz gdo. ehT"

 

I know how to reverse the whole sentence using [::-1] However, I only want to reverse the first word

sentence = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."
reverse = sentence[::-1]
print(reverse)

And I know how to move the last word to the front of the sentence using " ".join(sentence.split()[::-1]) However, I want to do this to the first word instead

sentence = "Quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."
moveWord = " ".join(sentence.split()[::-1])
print(moveWord)

How do I do this..

The algorithm you're looking for is called "rotate", unfortunately Python doesn't have a built in function for it but it should be easy to implement after a quick google.

So we split on space

words = sentence.split(' ')

Then we get the first word

word = words.pop(0)

Then reverse and add to the end of words

Words.append(word[::-1])

And finally join everything back 

result = ' '.join(words)

Print (result)

I'm creating my own function, I'll look it up, thanks

Just to clarify on @fizzlesticks answer:

What you want is "array rotate". You can solve this problem by breaking the string into a list, rotating the list by one, and then rotating each sublist (each string in the list) by one as well. 

Just as a fun test I tried to search for "rotate" and "string rotate". I found a bunch of stuff about multidimensional math and then rope/chord making. That's why I felt it necessary to make a distinction about what we are looking for here.

Thanks!

@vorticalbox solved the first part, but I still can't figure out the second part
