Using for Loop

Inside function created empty “newString” variable. In for loop add last item first position in the new string, till last char remain.

<script>
		function reverseString(str) {
			let newString = "";
			for (let i = str.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
				newString += str[i];
			}
			return newString;
		}
		const result = reverseString("Hello world");
		console.log(result);

</script>

Using built-in Methods

First, Use the split method to split a string into individual array elements. Then use the array reverse() method to reverse elements. In the last join into a single string using the join() method.

<!DOCTYPE HTML> 
<html> 

<body> 

	<script>
		
		function reverseString(str) {

			const arrayStrings = str.split("");

			const reverseArray = arrayStrings.reverse();

			const joinArray = reverseArray.join("");

			return joinArray;
		}

		const result = reverseString("Hello world");
		console.log(result);

	</script>
</body> 
</html>		

Output: The result will be the same for both examples because the input string is the same.
