def reverse_text(text): return text[-1] + reverse_text(text[:-1]) if text else '' text = 'sololearn' print(reverse_text(text)) #but why do you need recursion if you can do this: print(text[::-1])

Vuyisile Lucas Ncipha please don't ask for answers next time unless you have tried. And post your attempt too, so we can take a look at it, and fix any errors you got. Игорь Яковенко try to ask for attempts fîrst next time, because giving the correct answer immedialy is not a good practice.

Игорь Яковенко I wanted to understand the recursion for strings. I just find out from your example, string slicing is the key to accomplish this. Now I can implement this in c#, Java, and Javascript. Thanks for your example.

Aymane Boukrouh [INACTIVE] my implementations are slightly different to his solution. The thing is I wanted to understand the solution. https://code.sololearn.com/ctb40epUJ5fR/?ref=app https://code.sololearn.com/cIpagzv22Z6T/?ref=app
