I am using the following code to simply take user input and return the
results backwards.
---------------------------------------------------------------
# Initialize Variables
string = ""
stringlength = 0
# Begin Program
string = raw_input("Enter a string and I will display it backwards.\n")
stringlength = len(string)
for i in range (stringlength, 0, -1):
print string [i - 1],
print "\n"
raw_input("\nPress the enter key to exit")
---------------------------------------------------------------
It works, but it places a space in between the characters displayed.
For instance, if the string entered is:
Test
the results are displayed
t s e T
I tried using "\b" to backspace after each character is displayed, but
this didn't work. I'm embarrassed to admit that I am trying to give
this as an assignment for a basic computer programming course I teach
(I'm stilling trying to learn the finer points of Python myself). I
know I could use other commands, but I have to limit the command set
for the students at this stage in their programming section (we have
yet to discuss mutability and immutability) Any suggestion for an easy
fix?
