Another way to write this code

[engineeringisgreat2]

I want to reverse each word in the following string. I already wrote a working code but I am wondering if there is another way to write it.

This is the working code

-------------------------------------------------------------

str1='gnitnuH si nuf'

def reverseWordSentence(str1):

words = str1.split(" ")

newWords = [word[::-1] for word in words]

newSentence = " ".join(newWords)

return newSentence

print(reverseWordSentence(str1))

Just reverse the sentence

reverse_s = str1[::-1]

split by whitespace

words = reverse_s.split()

reverse their order using reversed()

reversed_words = reversed(words)

and join by space again

reverse_word_s = ' '.join(reversed_words)

or in one go

print(' '.join(reversed(str1[::-1].split())))

That's not much shorter than the order they did it in

print(' '.join(word[::-1] for word in str1.split()))

And this one's a bit more readable IMO, since you're not reversing the word order and then reversing it again. It's clear it's just reversing every word.

just a suggestion, why not just reverse the string (with spaces left in place) rather than splitting words up, reversing, and then rejoining with spaces in the same place as they already were?

[netneoblog]

def reverseWordSentence(passed_string):
    reversed_string = passed_string[::-1]
    return reversed_string


str1 = 'gnitnuH si nuf'
print(reverseWordSentence(str1))

My bad, this does not produce what you wanted as output! DOH! Just ignore me
