Trying to reverse text, what am I doing wrong?

Question

Hopefully this makes sense. Details in the title. Let me know if more details are needed.

Code:

userinput = input("Line: ")
userlen = len(userinput)
output = userinput
count = 0

print(userinput[-0])

while count != userlen:
  count2 = count - (count + 1)
  output[count] = userinput[count2]
  count = count + 1

print(output)

You can do:

>>> "test word"[::-1]
'drow tset'

This uses extended slices.

You could try it like this :

userinput = input("line: ")
userlen = len(userinput)
output = []
for index in range (userlen -1, -1, -1) :
    output.append (userinput [index])
print(''.join (output))
