I need help making a python program that which gets a phrase from a user and reverses it. This is what I have so far.

Hi Simran, I changed input() to raw_input() so strings didn't have to be inside quotes, what is the problem? The code appears to run fine?

def reverse(str):
    return str[::-1]

string = str(raw_input("Put a word or sentence that you would like to reverse !! "))

print reverse(string)

Put a word or sentence that you would like to reverse !! monkey

Maybe you are defining your function after you ask for the string?

for the 4rth line of code where it says print reverse(string), i get a syntax error and when I tried fixing it by changing it to print(reverse(string)), I still got a invalid syntax error pointing to the print function

Hi Simran,

I was wondering if you just wanted to reverse the order that the words appear. Here is an example that will split the string into a list using a space as the delimiter. It then reverses the order of the list and joins it back into a string with a space inserted between each element of the list.

As an example, the sentence "I love Python so much" would be returned as "much so Python love I".

def reverse_phrase(phrase):
    return ' '.join(phrase.split(' ')[::-1])

user_phrase = raw_input('Please supply a phrase to reverse. \n')
print(reverse_phrase(user_phrase))

but I have the code down now, my only problem is the syntax error I am getting for the print function in the last line which is print(reverse(string)) , do you know perhaps why there is a syntax error pointing to print??

//This is my code//

def reverse(str): return str[::-1]
string = str(input("Put a phrase you want reversed!!")

print(reverse(string))

//This is how my code looks but I am still getting a syntax error pointing to print??

def reverse(str): return str[::-1]

string = str(raw_input("Put a word or sentence that you would like to reverse !! "))

print reverse(string)

//This is my code now but I am still getting the syntax error pointing to print??//

def reverse(str): return str[::-1] string = str(raw_input("Put a phrase you want reversed!!")

print reverse(string)
