Introduction

Hello, and welcome! Are you ready to elevate your string manipulation skills in JavaScript? Today, we'll delve into a task that bolsters your comprehension of strings and enhances your creativity. The task involves splitting a string into words and then reversing each word as if reflected in a mirror. Does that sound interesting? Let's get started!

Task Statement and Description

You're tasked with considering a string filled with words and writing a JavaScript function that accepts this string. The function should reverse the character order of each word and form a new string consisting of these reversed words.

Here's what you need to keep in mind:

  • The input string will contain between 1 and 100 words.
  • Each word in the string is a sequence of characters separated by whitespace.
  • The characters can range from a to z, A to Z, 0 to 9, or even an underscore _.
  • The provided string will neither start nor end with a space, and double spaces won't be present either.
  • After reversing the words, your program should output a single string with the reversed words preserving their original order.

Example

Consider the input string "Hello neat javascript_lovers_123".

The function works as follows:

  • Hello becomes olleH
  • neat becomes taen
  • javascript_lovers_123 becomes 321_srevol_tpircsavaj

Afterward, it forms a single string with these reversed words, producing "olleH taen 321_srevol_tpircsavaj".

Therefore, if you call reverseWords("Hello neat javascript_lovers_123"), the function should return "olleH taen 321_srevol_tpircsavaj".

Let's begin breaking this down!

Step-by-Step Solution Building: Step 1

Our first task is to separate the words in the sentence. In JavaScript, the split() method of the String object allows us to achieve this easily. The delimiter you'll use in the split() method is a single space " ". Here is a sample code to illustrate this:

JavaScript
let inputStr = "Hello neat javascript_lovers_123";
let words = inputStr.split(" ");

// Now the array 'words' holds all the words of the string
console.log(words); // Output: [ 'Hello', 'neat', 'javascript_lovers_123' ]

Note that " " as the delimiter ensures that the string is split at each space, effectively separating the words.
