I guess that I shouldn't give code if this is for an assignment, but if you
are using Python 2.4, then try seeing what the "reversed()" built-in
function does.  If you're not using Python 2.4, then read up about "slices"
- which is when you get subsections of a string (e.g. "tony"[2:4] is "ny").
You can pass a 'direction' in a slice as well.
