Code to reverse a word

Question

I made this to reverse a word but am unable to plzz help.

while True:
    word = input("Normal Word: ")
    newWord = ""
    for i in range(len(word)):
        newWord += word[len(word)-(i+1)]
    print("Reversed Word: '" + newWord() + "'\n")

The error says "TypeError: 'str' object is not callable"

to reverse the words you can simple do `word[::-1]`, but in your case simple remove the `()` from `newWord()` it need to be `newWord` — Druta Ruslan, Jul 13 '18 at 14:41
What ***is*** wrong with the code? Does it throw an error? Does it produce incorrect output? — Aran-Fey, Jul 13 '18 at 14:41

The main problem with your code is:

Calling newWord() in the print function instead of simply newWord.

while True:
    word = input("Normal Word: ")
    newWord = ""
    for i in range(len(word)):
        newWord += word[len(word) - (i + 1)]
    print("Reversed Word: '" + newWord() + "'\n")

A possibly more Pythonic solution is:

newWord = word[::-1]
print(newWord)

Yes `newWord` is not callable that is the error as I guess you mean in 2. For 1, they presumably want multiple words (and `break` on some condition), and I don't follow 3. – Chris_Rands Jul 13 '18 at 14:45
@Chris_Rands, you're right! Just edited the post. – Ashish Acharya Jul 13 '18 at 14:49
