Python program to swap characters of a given string

Here, we are going to learn how to swap characters of a given string using python program? By Suryaveer Singh Last updated : February 25, 2024

In this article, we would learn how to return a string with swapped characters? This can be solved by either introducing a variable N or by just simply considering the length of the string itself.

Problem statement

Given a string, and we have to swap all characters using python program.

If you are provided with a string, return a new string such that the first and the last characters have been exchanged. Also, you should consider the following cases:

Example

swap_string ('love') = 'eovl'
swap_string ('g') = 'g'
swap_string ('ab') = 'ba'

Code

def swap_string(str):
    if len(str) <= 1:
        return str

    mid = str[1:len(str) - 1]
    return str[len(str) - 1] + mid + str[0]


print (swap_string('IncludeHelp'))
print (swap_string('Hello'))
print (swap_string('G'))
print (swap_string('I love my India!'))

Output

pncludeHelI
oellH
G
! love my IndiaI

To understand the above program, you should have the basic knowledge of the following Python topics:

• Python print() Method
• Python Variables
• Python Conditional Statements
• Python Functions
• Python Strings
