printing a string in reverse

[Skaperen]

i have a string in a variable x. i want to print that string in reverse order. like:

Output:
>>> x = 'foobar'
>>> print(rev(x))
raboof
>>>

... assuming rev() does the job for me. but if there is no rev()], what to code? i am not interested in answers without working code. i have tried reversed() and sorted(...,reverse=True) and have not yet found a nice compact solution.

if someone wants to implement rev(), try to make sure it will reverse the order of any sequence and return the very same type it was given..
