Re: Where is string.Reverse() and string.SwapChars()?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Thanks but there are a few things like this that really irk me about C# and
..NET.

Why not add a Reverse method? It's very simple for Microsoft to do. On the
other hand, converting the string to an array, reversing it, and then
converting it back to a string requires additional memory allocations, etc.
that greatly reduce the efficiency of this simple task. If the language is
not going to allow us to perform certain tasks (such as swapping two
characters without create a new string), the least they could do is
implement a simple Reverse method.

I guess I'm having trouble with this overall mentality of limiting what we
can do, especially when simple functionality has not been included for us.

Must just be me.

Hello Jonathan,

Reverse is the method of Array class, thus u can convert string to array
and reverse array
For swapping use String.Replace
