How to Reverse a String in JavaScript | Easy Step-by-Step Tutorial (2025)

Hello there. In this particular lecture, we are going to learn about how to reverse a string in JavaScript. Well,

JavaScript strings do not have a direct reverse method. So, we will follow three

reverse method. So, we will follow three different steps using the array method to convert the letter of your string in a

reverse order. So, let's go to our

reverse order. So, let's go to our JavaScript. Let's go to our visual

JavaScript. Let's go to our visual studio code and understand that how we can do this step by step. So for reversing the string we are

step. So for reversing the string we are going to use three different steps. The

first step is convert the string to array. Right? We will convert the string

array. Right? We will convert the string to the array. And for that what we will use? We will use a

use? We will use a split method. Right now the second step

method. Right now the second step is to reverse the

array. Right? And for that we will

array. Right? And for that we will use reverse

method. And in the third step we will

method. And in the third step we will use what? We will

use what? We will join back to a string. Fine. And for that what we will

string. Fine. And for that what we will do? We will use join method that is like

do? We will use join method that is like this. Fine. So let's understand that how

this. Fine. So let's understand that how it actually works. So the basic working of this whole reverse string method is like this. Since if I say that I'm

like this. Since if I say that I'm having a word named Ram and if I use this method so in the first step what will happen it will make

an array inside this I will have one R then A and then M it will do this fine

after using the split method and in the second step to reverse the array we when we use the reverse function on the variable

which is holding this array. What it

will do? It will convert it in reverse order. That is first m then a and then

order. That is first m then a and then r then r in this order. Fine. Now by using the

join method what it will do? it will

again convert this m a r as an element into the letters that is m r fine so

this is how your whole logic of converting the string in a reverse order works so let's take a real example and

understand that how it can be done so let's say let str equals to hello right Now let

reverse equals to let's take this str then a split we'll put a dot and then we put a split and a

split this what this is doing it is saying that divide the words or a letter based

on no space it means the ram in Ram R and A is not having any space it means it is indicating that we will split on that basis. So R and A will get splitted

that basis. So R and A will get splitted and then A and M they also not having any space. So A and M will also get

any space. So A and M will also get splitted. Right? So now if you print

splitted. Right? So now if you print only this reverse that is go to your

console you can see what I'm getting for the word hello h e l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l o o I'm going to get the five

different elements that is h e l l o right yeah now if I two dot

reverse method. In that condition what

reverse method. In that condition what will happen? You can see the word has

will happen? You can see the word has reversed of ele all the elements got reversed right. O L L E H is now the

reversed right. O L L E H is now the order of elements and after that if I put dot join and a bracket here and again no

space then in that condition all the word of all the element of the array will now get joined. You can see it now

your word or your string got reversed.

So this is how you reverse a string in JavaScript using three different methods or the steps. And this is all about today's

steps. And this is all about today's video. Thank you so much for watching.
