--description--

In this lab, you will build a simple string inverter that reverses the characters of a given string.

For example, "hello" should become "olleh".

Objective: Fulfill the user stories below and get all the tests to pass to complete the lab.

User Stories:

  1. You should create a function named reverseString that takes a string as an argument.
  2. The function should return the reversed string.

--hints--

You should have a function named reverseString.

js
assert.isFunction(reverseString);

reverseString should take a string as an argument.

js
assert.match(reverseString.toString(), /\s*function\s+reverseString\s*\(\s*\w+\s*\)/);

reverseString("hello") should return a string.

js
assert.isString(reverseString('hello'));

reverseString("hello") should return the string olleh.

js
assert.strictEqual(reverseString('hello'), 'olleh');

reverseString("Howdy") should return the string ydwoH.

js
assert.strictEqual(reverseString('Howdy'), 'ydwoH');

reverseString("Greetings from Earth") should return the string htraE morf sgniteerG.

js
assert.strictEqual(
  reverseString('Greetings from Earth'),
  'htraE morf sgniteerG'
);
