This example shows a Python function that reverses a string by swapping characters from both ends toward the middle, then prints the reversed result along with two indexed substrings from the original string. The code defines `reverse_string(list)` to mutate the input list in place using a temporary variable and integer division (`//`) for the loop range. It uses no external libraries, relying only on built-in Python functions like `len()` and `range()`. The author then calls the function with a hardcoded string, prints the reversed output, and demonstrates indexing with a variable `i` set to 3.

Gist 9a5e7b204b7bb4e90cc3f9b7bf5b7dad

This example shows a recursive JavaScript function that reverses a string. The function `rec` takes a word, checks if its length is zero, and returns an empty string as the base case; otherwise, it appends the last character to the result of calling `rec` on the string with that last character removed. It demonstrates the reversal of the input "hello" to "olleh" through a simple recursion pattern. The code uses plain JavaScript with no external libraries or rendering APIs.

For Helen

This example visualizes class performance by computing the average score for each student and then the overall class average. The Python functions `get_class_average`, `get_average`, and `average` process a list of student dictionaries, iterating through each student to accumulate individual results in a buffer before reducing them to a final numeric summary. The code accesses per-student score data via a list and calls `results.append()` to build the dataset, ultimately returning a single aggregate value through `average()`. The visualization would plot these calculated averages, with the data source being the hardcoded student list and the rendering dependent on an external plotting library.

Function for reversing the bits in a 32bit number

The example demonstrates a custom function that reverses the order of bits in a 32-bit unsigned integer, a common low-level operation used in bit manipulation. It shows the step-by-step isolation and recombination of individual bytes (b0 through b3) before reversing the bits within each byte. The code relies on Power Query’s `Number.BitwiseAnd`, `Number.BitwiseShiftRight`, `Number.BitwiseShiftLeft`, and `Number.BitwiseOr` functions to mask, shift, and reassemble the bytes. A helper `reverse` function is implied for per-byte bit reversal, though not defined here. The visualization itself is a code snippet, not a graphical chart, highlighting the algorithmic logic rather than data representation.

My rewrite of the Field example on the Elm website (http://elm-lang.org/examples/field)

This example demonstrates a minimal text-reversal interface: as a user types into a text input, the displayed text is immediately shown in reverse order. The view renders an HTML `<input>` element and a `<div>` containing the reversed string, while the update function replaces the model with each new input. Built with Elm’s `Html`, `Html.App.beginnerProgram`, and `Html.Events.onInput`, the code uses `String.reverse` to transform the user’s input. No external libraries or data sources are involved; the model is simply a `String` that updates in real time.

Created on Cognitive Class Labs

This notebook from a Cognitive Class Labs course demonstrates Python string operations, including indexing, negative indexing, slicing, stride, concatenation, escape sequences, and string methods. The examples show how to define strings with single or double quotes, combine spaces, digits, and special characters, and apply methods like `upper()`, `replace()`, and `find()`. The code is executed in Jupyter cells, with outputs displayed inline as executed results, and the notebook is sourced from a gist authored by DAVINDERYADAVRJIT.

An example of reversing bits in a 32-bit number

This example demonstrates how to reverse the bits of a 32-bit integer using a series of bitwise operations, applied to a specific input value. It shows the step-by-step process of extracting individual bytes, reversing their bit order, and reassembling them into the final result. The code uses PowerShell’s built-in bitwise operators like `-band`, `-shr`, and `-shl` to perform the manipulation, with helper functions `reverse` and `reverse64` providing alternative implementations. The input `0x04c11db7` is processed, and the output is printed in hexadecimal format, illustrating the reversal effect without any external libraries or visualization frameworks.

writing the numbers 1-100 in order and seeing the middle letter

This example examines the letters at the center of the concatenated text formed by writing the numbers 1 through 100 as words, with and without hyphens. It uses Python’s built-in string methods to join the number list, remove hyphens, and index the middle character by calculating half the total length. The visualization shows the resulting middle letter for four variations: with and without hyphen removal, and with spaces versus no spaces between numbers. The code relies solely on Python’s `list`, `join`, `replace`, and `len` functions, with no external libraries or graphical output.

Python Request

This example shows a Python script that transforms lists of integers through three sequential exercises. It demonstrates custom list-processing functions that swap adjacent elements or replace multiples of five with the preceding value, and it uses conditional logic to apply these transformations based on user input. The code relies on Python’s built-in `raw_input`, `range`, and `format` methods to gather data and print results. It illustrates procedural programming with clear step-by-step comments and control flow via `if`, `for`, and `break` statements.
