344. Reverse String

Problem Description

Write a function that reverses a string. The input string is given as an array of characters s.

You must do this by modifying the input array in-place with O(1) extra memory.

Example 1:

Input: s = ["h","e","l","l","o"]
Output: ["o","l","l","e","h"]

Example 2:

Input: s = ["H","a","n","n","a","h"]
Output: ["h","a","n","n","a","H"]

Constraints:

• 1 <= s.length <= 10⁵
• s[i] is a printable ascii character

Python Solution

class Solution:
    def reverseString(self, s: List[str]) -> None:
        """
        Do not return anything, modify s in-place instead.
        """
        left, right = 0, len(s) - 1
        while left < right:
            s[left], s[right] = s[right], s[left]
            left += 1
            right -= 1

Java Solution

class Solution {
    public void reverseString(char[] s) {
        int left = 0, right = s.length - 1;
        while (left < right) {
            char temp = s[left];
            s[left] = s[right];
            s[right] = temp;
            left++;
            right--;
        }
    }
}

C++ Solution

class Solution {
public:
    void reverseString(vector& s) {
        int left = 0, right = s.size() - 1;
        while (left < right) {
            swap(s[left], s[right]);
            left++;
            right--;
        }
    }
};

JavaScript Solution

/**
 * @param {character[]} s
 * @return {void} Do not return anything, modify s in-place instead.
 */
var reverseString = function(s) {
    let left = 0, right = s.length - 1;
    while (left < right) {
        [s[left], s[right]] = [s[right], s[left]];
        left++;
        right--;
    }
};

C# Solution

public class Solution {
    public void ReverseString(char[] s) {
        int left = 0, right = s.Length - 1;
        while (left < right) {
            char temp = s[left];
            s[left] = s[right];
            s[right] = temp;
            left++;
            right--;
        }
    }
}
