How can I reverse a string in JavaScript?

For example, a given string of example should be converted into elpmaxe as the end result.

Is there a function or method that does this easily?

This will reverse your string:

string.split("").reverse().join("");

Code breakdown:

split(""): converts the string into an array containing each letter in the word. i.e. ["e", "x", "a", "m", "p", "l", "e"].
reverse(): reverses the order of the array.
`join(""): converts the array of letters back into a string format.

Here's how you could do it with a decrementing for loop:

let ogString = "example";

let newString = "";

for (var i = ogString.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) { 
    newString += ogString[i];
}

// newString = "elpmaxe"

Using the reverse() method:

string.split("").reduce((rev, char) => char + rev, "");

Loop through each character in the string:

function reverse(string) {
    let reversed = "";

    for (let character of string) {
      reversed = character + reversed;
    }

    return reversed;
}
