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。

看一下StringBuffer下的Java 6 API

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

由于下面的方法(使用XOR)反转字符串没有列出，我附加这个方法来反转字符串。

该算法基于:

1.(a xor b) xor b = a 2.(a xor b) xor a = b

代码片段:

public class ReverseUsingXOR {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String str = "prateek";
        reverseUsingXOR(str.toCharArray());
    }   

    /*Example:
     * str= prateek;
     * str[low]=p;
     * str[high]=k;
     * str[low]=p^k;
     * str[high]=(p^k)^k =p;
     * str[low]=(p^k)^p=k;
     * 
     * */
    public static void reverseUsingXOR(char[] str) {
        int low = 0;
        int high = str.length - 1;

        while (low < high) {
            str[low] = (char) (str[low] ^ str[high]);
            str[high] = (char) (str[low] ^ str[high]);   
            str[low] = (char) (str[low] ^ str[high]);
            low++;
            high--;
        }

        //display reversed string
        for (int i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
            System.out.print(str[i]);
        }
    }

}

输出:

    public String reverse(String s) {

        String reversedString = "";
        for(int i=s.length(); i>0; i--) {
            reversedString += s.charAt(i-1);
        }   

        return reversedString;
    }

        String str = "Hello World";

        char[] strCharArr = str.toCharArray();

        for(int i = 0, k= strCharArr.length-1;i != k; i++, k--) {
            char temp = strCharArr[i];
            strCharArr[i] = strCharArr[k];
            strCharArr[k] = temp;
        }

        System.out.println(String.valueOf(strCharArr));

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;
}
