How to reverse a string in ruby

You can do this:

 def my_reverse(str) str.chars.inject {|a, b| b + a} end > my_reverse("idol") => "lodi" 

You can also monkey patch the String object:

 class String def my_reverse self.chars.inject {|a, b| b + a} end end > "idol".my_reverse => "lodi" 

and will print the same result :)

Warning: Be extra careful on monkey patching ruby objects.
