    how to print a string backwards

    Hey guys - I am just getting started here and have no C# or C++ experience. I am doing an exercise in the back of a chapter in the book I am reading. All it is asking for is a string to be inputed by the user and then for the characters in that string to be printed out backwards. I can print each character out ok, it is just the "backwards" part I am having trouble with. I'll show you what I have but, like I said, it does not print the string out backwards as it is supposed to. How can I modify it? If anyone can help, I would appreciate it. thanks, Ryan

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
    Console.WriteLine("Enter a phrase.");
    string myString = Console.ReadLine();
    char [] myChars = myString.ToCharArray();
    foreach (char character in myChars)
    {
    Console.WriteLine("{0}", character);
    }
    }

    There's a Reverse(string) function.

    I think I read it hasn't been implemented in Beta2, though, so in your own coding it would be something like...

    for(int i=myString.Length; i>0; i--)
    Console.Write(myChars[i]);

    You might not have to convert the string into an array because I think that indexing is build into the string class, but unless you can't find a specific method in the BCL than go with KEN's suggestion.
