reverse
Reverse order of characters in strings
Syntax
Description
Examples
Reverse Strings
Reverse the strings in a string array and find strings that read the same when reversed.
str = ["airport","control tower","radar","runway"]
str = 1x4 string
"airport" "control tower" "radar" "runway"
newStr = reverse(str)
newStr = 1x4 string
"tropria" "rewot lortnoc" "radar" "yawnur"
tf = (newStr == str)
tf = 1x4 logical array
0 0 1 0
str(tf)
ans = "radar"
Input Arguments
str
— Input text
string array | character vector | cell array of character vectors
Input text, specified as a string array, character vector, or cell array of character vectors.
Output Arguments
newStr
— Output text
string array | character vector | cell array of character vectors
Output text, returned as a string array, a character vector, or a cell
array of character vectors. str
and
newStr
are the same data type.
Extended Capabilities
Tall Arrays
Calculate with arrays that have more rows than fit in memory.
The
reverse
function fully supports tall arrays. For more information,
see Tall Arrays.
C/C++ Code Generation
Generate C and C++ code using MATLAB® Coder™.
Usage notes and limitations:
str
must be a string scalar, a character vector, or a cell array containing not more than one character vector.
Thread-Based Environment
Run code in the background using MATLAB® backgroundPool
or accelerate code with Parallel Computing Toolbox™ ThreadPool
.
This function fully supports thread-based environments. For more information, see Run MATLAB Functions in Thread-Based Environment.
Distributed Arrays
Partition large arrays across the combined memory of your cluster using Parallel Computing Toolbox™.
This function fully supports distributed arrays. For more information, see Run MATLAB Functions with Distributed Arrays (Parallel Computing Toolbox).
