python - How to reverse the order of the words in a string

Question

E.g:

 input:  I live in New York
 output: York New in live I

P.S: I have used s[::-1], this just reverses the string, like kroY weN ni evil I, but this is not the desired output. I also tried :

def rev(x) :
    x = x[::-1]
    for i in range(len(x)) :
        if x[i] == " " :
            x = x[::-1]
            continue
        print x

But this also stands incorrect. Kindly help me in writing the code.

Answer 1

You can use split to get the separate words, reverse to reverse the list, and finally join to join them again to make the final string:

s = "This is New York"
# split first
a = s.split()
# reverse list
a.reverse()
# now join them
result = " ".join(a)
# print it
print(result)

results in:

'York New is This'
