Fun Python Tips&Tricks: How to reverse string in Python

There is no built-in function to reverse a String in Python. The fastest (and easiest?) way is to use a slice that steps backwards, -1. Create a slice that starts at the end of the string, and moves backwards. In this particular example, the slice statement [::-1] means start at the end of the string and end at position 0, move with the step -1, negative one, which means one step backwards.
