处理所有类型的unicode字符

使用System.Globalization;

    public static string ReverseString(this string content) {

        var textElementEnumerator = StringInfo.GetTextElementEnumerator(content);

        var SbBuilder = new StringBuilder(content.Length);

        while (textElementEnumerator.MoveNext()) {
            SbBuilder.Insert(0, textElementEnumerator.GetTextElement());
        }

        return SbBuilder.ToString();
    }

看看维基百科的条目。它们实现了字符串。反向扩展法。这允许你编写这样的代码:

string s = "olleh";
s.Reverse();

他们还使用ToCharArray/Reverse组合，这是这个问题的其他答案所建议的。源代码如下所示:

public static string Reverse(this string input)
{
    char[] chars = input.ToCharArray();
    Array.Reverse(chars);
    return new String(chars);
}

我们可以使用两个指针，一个指向字符串的开始，另一个指向字符串的结束。然后每次交换第i个和第j个指针的值，第i个指针的值递增+1，第j个指针的值递减-1。

string s = Console.ReadLine();
Console.WriteLine(s + "\n");
char[] charArray = s.ToCharArray();
int i = 0, j = s.Length - 1;
while (i < j) {
    char temp = charArray[i];
    charArray[i] = charArray[j];
    charArray[j] = temp;
    i++; j--;
}
string ans = new string(charArray);
Console.WriteLine(ans + "\n");
// Input: hello
// Output: olleh

首先，你不需要调用ToCharArray，因为字符串已经可以被索引为char数组，所以这将节省你的分配。

下一个优化是使用StringBuilder来防止不必要的分配(因为字符串是不可变的，连接它们每次都会复制一个字符串)。为了进一步优化这一点，我们预先设置了StringBuilder的长度，这样它就不需要扩展它的缓冲区。

public string Reverse(string text)
{
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(text))
    {
        return text;
    }

    StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder(text.Length);
    for (int i = text.Length - 1; i >= 0; i--)
    {
        builder.Append(text[i]);
    }

    return builder.ToString();
}

编辑:性能数据

我使用Array测试了这个函数和这个函数。用下面的简单程序进行反向，其中Reverse1是一个函数，Reverse2是另一个函数:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    var text = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";

    // pre-jit
    text = Reverse1(text); 
    text = Reverse2(text);

    // test
    var timer1 = Stopwatch.StartNew();
    for (var i = 0; i < 10000000; i++)
    {
        text = Reverse1(text);
    }

    timer1.Stop();
    Console.WriteLine("First: {0}", timer1.ElapsedMilliseconds);

    var timer2 = Stopwatch.StartNew();
    for (var i = 0; i < 10000000; i++)
    {
        text = Reverse2(text);
    }

    timer2.Stop();
    Console.WriteLine("Second: {0}", timer2.ElapsedMilliseconds);

    Console.ReadLine();
}

事实证明，对于短字符串数组。反向方法大约是上面方法的两倍，对于更长的字符串，差异甚至更明显。已知这个数组。反向法既简单又快，我建议你用那个而不是这个。我把这个留在这里只是为了表明这不是你应该做的方式(让我很惊讶!)

如果字符串只包含ASCII字符，则可以使用此方法。

    public static string ASCIIReverse(string s)
    {
        byte[] reversed = new byte[s.Length];

        int k = 0;
        for (int i = s.Length - 1; i >= 0; i--)
        {
            reversed[k++] = (byte)s[i];
        }

        return Encoding.ASCII.GetString(reversed);
    }
