I Know it wrong, and it just reverse it one way. how to reverse string in javascript with that condition? Many thank before.

So, you want to reverse every couple of letters, but leave the two letters in each group in the same order? — Oscar Paz, Jan 29 '20 at 11:17

You can do this, using regex : let splited = str.match(/.{1,2}/g).reverse().join('');

str.match(/.{1,2}/g) to transform ABCDEFGH to [AB, CD, EF, GH]
reverse() to transform [AB, CD, EF, GH] to [GH, EF, CD, AB]
join('') to transform [GH, EF, CD, AB] to GHEFCDAB

Pairing string reverse

Using empty String

const str = 'ABCDEFGH'
var emptyStr = '';

for(let i = str.length; i>1; i--){
  emptyStr += str.slice(i-2,i)
  i--
}
console.log(emptyStr);

using empty Array

const str = 'ABCDEFGH'
const rev = str.split('');
const revStr = []

for(let i = str.length; i >=1; i--){
const strPair = rev.slice(i-2,i).join('');
  i--;
  revStr.push(strPair)
  }
console.log(revStr.join(''))

Output: GHEFCDAB

class RevStr{
 
    constructor(input){
        this.str =input;
    }

    reverseStr() {
        let str = this.str.match(/.{1,2}/g)
        let end = str.length-1;
        let start = 0;

        while (start < end) {
            let temp = str[start];
            str[start] = str[end];
            str[end] = temp;
            start++;
            end--;
        }
        console.log(str.join(''));
    }

}
let s = new RevStr("abcdefgh");
s.reverseStr();

Here are 3 simple solutions to reverse a string in JavaScript:

// Solution-1: Using reverse() method
function reverseString1(str) {
    return str.split('').reverse().join('')
}

// Solution-2: Using for loop
function reverseString2(str) {
    let reversed = ''; 

    for(let character of str) {
        reversed = character + reversed; 
    }

    return reversed;
}

// Solution-3: Using reduce() method
function reverseString3(str) {
    return str.split('').reduce((reversed, character) => character + reversed, '')
}

console.log("Solution 1: ", reverseString1("happy")); 
console.log("Solution 2: ", reverseString2("database")); 
console.log("Solution 3: ", reverseString3("loop"));
