Reverse String order

I want to invert the order of a string. For example: "Joe Red" = "Red Joe" I believe the reverse method will not help me, since I dont want to reverse every character, just switch words

First, you need to define what you mean by "word". I'll assume you just want strings of characters separated by whitespace. In that case, we can do:

' '.join(reversed(s.split()))

Note, this will remove leading/trailing whitespaces, and convert any consecutive runs of whitespaces to a single space character.

Demo:

>>> s = "Red Joe"
>>> ' '.join(reversed(s.split()))
'Joe Red'
>>>

s = "Joe Red"
s= s.split()
c = s[-1]+" "+s[0]

c holds "Red Joe".

>>> s= "Joe Red"
>>> words = s.split()
