The problem is, I don't know for certain whether the terms "reverse string" or "string reversal" are correct or not. FWIW, practically all programming languages/libraries that provide this operation call it "reverse". Does anyone know what the proper term should be? ([[Inverse]]? [[Inversion]]? [[Opposite]]? [[Transpose]]?) — [[User:Loadmaster|Loadmaster]] ([[User talk:Loadmaster|talk]]) 17:05, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
 
: AsReverse would be the correct terminology, but as currently formulated thatyour statement would either not be general enough (only working for two character strings) or, worse, likely be misinterpreted as stating that WORLDHELLO and LOWORLDHEL would be reverses of HELLOWORLD (instead of DLROWOLLEH.) —''[[User:Ruud Koot|Ruud]]'' 23:09, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
