How to Reverse a String using Recursion in Python

In this example, we will show you how to build a recursive function that reverses an input string. Let’s start coding.

def reverse_string(my_string):
    if len(my_string) == 0:
        return my_string
    else:
        return reverse_string(my_string[1:]) + my_string[0]
 

We will test the function by entering the string abcde.

reverse_string('abcde')
 

'edcba'

Good job!
