Python: Traversing Strings

Loops are used to work with strings as well as numbers. For example, you can get a specific character by its index, and also form strings in loops.

Below is some sample code that prints the letters of each word on a separate line:

def print_name_by_symbol(name):
    i = 0
    # This check will run until the end of the string,
    # including the last character. Its index is `length - 1`.
    while i < len(name):
        # Accessing the symbol by its index
        print(name[i])
        i += 1

name = 'Arya'
print_name_by_symbol(name)
# => 'A'
# => 'r'
# => 'y'
# => 'a'

The main thing in this code is to put the proper condition in while. This can be done in two ways: i < len(name) or i <= len(name) - 1 - they'll both give the same result.

Instructions

Implement a function called print_reversed_word_by_symbol() that prints a word passed to it character by character, as in the example from the theory, but in reverse order.

word = 'Hexlet'

print_reversed_word_by_symbol(word)
# => 't'
# => 'e'
# => 'l'
# => 'x'
# => 'e'
# => 'H'
