Need an explanation

startmsg = "hello"
endmsg = ""
for i in range(0,len(startmsg)):
    endmsg=startmsg[i] + endmsg
print(endmsg)

Why is the result: "olleh", a not "hello"?

>Solution :

As this code iterates, it adds each letter to the front of what’s been iterated over previously. The end result is a reversed string.

As we iterate:

endmsg = "h"

endmsg = "eh"

endmsg = "leh"

endmsg = "lleh"

endmsg = "olleh"

Iterating over indexes like this is not particularly idiomatic Python. Rather, if the index is not needed, it would be more Pythonic to iterate over the characters directly.

startmsg = "hello"
endmsg = ""

for ch in startmsg:
    endmsg = ch + endmsg

print(endmsg)
