public static String revString(String str){
    char[] revCharArr = str.toCharArray();
    for (int i=0; i< str.length()/2; i++){
        char f = revCharArr[i];
        char l = revCharArr[str.length()-i-1];
        revCharArr[i] = l;
        revCharArr[str.length()-i-1] = f;
    }
    String revStr = new String(revCharArr);
    return revStr;
}

System.out.print("Please enter your name: ");
String name = keyboard.nextLine();

String reverse = new StringBuffer(name).reverse().toString();
String rev = reverse.toLowerCase();
System.out.println(rev);

我使用这种方法将名称反向转换为小写。

对于不允许StringBuilder或StringBuffer的Online Judges问题，可以使用char[]，如下所示:

public static String reverse(String input){
    char[] in = input.toCharArray();
    int begin=0;
    int end=in.length-1;
    char temp;
    while(end>begin){
        temp = in[begin];
        in[begin]=in[end];
        in[end] = temp;
        end--;
        begin++;
    }
    return new String(in);
}

String string="whatever";
String reverse = new StringBuffer(string).reverse().toString();
System.out.println(reverse);

看一下StringBuffer下的Java 6 API

String s = "sample";
String result = new StringBuffer(s).reverse().toString();

public void reverString(){
System.out.println("Enter value");
BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
 try{

  String str=br.readLine();
  char[] charArray=str.toCharArray();
  for(int i=charArray.length-1; i>=0; i--){
   System.out.println(charArray[i]);
  }
  }
   catch(IOException ex){
  }
