public static string Reverse2(string x)
        {

                charArray[i] = x[len - i];
            return new string(charArray);
        }

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!)

从。net Core 2.1开始，有一种新的方法可以使用字符串反转字符串。创建方法。

请注意，这个解决方案不能正确处理Unicode组合字符等，因为“Les Mise\u0301rables”将被转换为“selbarésiM seL”。请参阅其他答案以获得更好的解决方案。

public static string Reverse(string input)
{
    return string.Create<string>(input.Length, input, (chars, state) =>
    {
        state.AsSpan().CopyTo(chars);
        chars.Reverse();
    });
}

这实际上是将输入的字符复制到一个新字符串，并在适当的位置反转新字符串。

为什么是弦。创建有用吗?

当从现有数组创建字符串时，将分配一个新的内部数组并复制其值。否则，就有可能在创建字符串之后(在安全的环境中)对其进行变异。也就是说，在下面的代码片段中，我们必须分配一个长度为10的数组两次，一次作为缓冲区，一次作为字符串的内部数组。

var chars = new char[10];
// set array values
var str = new string(chars);

字符串。Create本质上允许我们在字符串创建期间操作内部数组。也就是说，我们不再需要缓冲区，因此可以避免分配一个字符数组。

史蒂夫·戈登在这里写了更详细的内容。在MSDN上也有一篇文章。

如何使用string.Create?

public static string Create<TState>(int length, TState state, SpanAction<char, TState> action);

该方法有三个参数:

要创建的字符串长度， 你想用来动态创建新字符串的数据， 以及从数据创建最终字符串的委托，其中第一个参数指向新字符串的内部char数组，第二个参数是传递给string. create的数据(状态)。

在委托内部，我们可以指定如何从数据中创建新字符串。在本例中，我们只是将输入字符串的字符复制到新字符串使用的Span。然后我们反转Span，因此整个字符串都反转了。

基准

为了比较我提出的反转字符串的方法与已接受的答案，我使用BenchmarkDotNet编写了两个基准测试。

public class StringExtensions
{
    public static string ReverseWithArray(string input)
    {
        var charArray = input.ToCharArray();
        Array.Reverse(charArray);
        return new string(charArray);
    }

    public static string ReverseWithStringCreate(string input)
    {
        return string.Create(input.Length, input, (chars, state) =>
        {
            state.AsSpan().CopyTo(chars);
            chars.Reverse();
        });
    }
}

[MemoryDiagnoser]
public class StringReverseBenchmarks
{
    private string input;

    [Params(10, 100, 1000)]
    public int InputLength { get; set; }


    [GlobalSetup]
    public void SetInput()
    {
        // Creates a random string of the given length
        this.input = RandomStringGenerator.GetString(InputLength);
    }

    [Benchmark(Baseline = true)]
    public string WithReverseArray() => StringExtensions.ReverseWithArray(input);

    [Benchmark]
    public string WithStringCreate() => StringExtensions.ReverseWithStringCreate(input);
}

下面是我的测试结果:

| Method           | InputLength |         Mean |      Error |    StdDev |  Gen 0 | Allocated |
| ---------------- | ----------- | -----------: | ---------: | --------: | -----: | --------: |

正如你所看到的，使用ReverseWithStringCreate，我们只分配了ReverseWithArray方法使用的一半内存。

必须提交一个递归的例子:

private static string Reverse(string str)
{
    if (str.IsNullOrEmpty(str) || str.Length == 1)
        return str;
    else
        return str[str.Length - 1] + Reverse(str.Substring(0, str.Length - 1));
}

public string Reverse(string input)
{
    char[] output = new char[input.Length];

    int forwards = 0;
    int backwards = input.Length - 1;

    do
    {
        output[forwards] = input[backwards];
        output[backwards] = input[forwards];
    }while(++forwards <= --backwards);

    return new String(output);
}

public string DotNetReverse(string input)
{
    char[] toReverse = input.ToCharArray();
    Array.Reverse(toReverse);
    return new String(toReverse);
}

public string NaiveReverse(string input)
{
    char[] outputArray = new char[input.Length];
    for (int i = 0; i < input.Length; i++)
    {
        outputArray[i] = input[input.Length - 1 - i];
    }

    return new String(outputArray);
}    

public string RecursiveReverse(string input)
{
    return RecursiveReverseHelper(input, 0, input.Length - 1);
}

public string RecursiveReverseHelper(string input, int startIndex , int endIndex)
{
    if (startIndex == endIndex)
    {
        return "" + input[startIndex];
    }

    if (endIndex - startIndex == 1)
    {
        return "" + input[endIndex] + input[startIndex];
    }

    return input[endIndex] + RecursiveReverseHelper(input, startIndex + 1, endIndex - 1) + input[startIndex];
}


void Main()
{
    int[] sizes = new int[] { 10, 100, 1000, 10000 };
    for(int sizeIndex = 0; sizeIndex < sizes.Length; sizeIndex++)
    {
        string holaMundo  = "";
        for(int i = 0; i < sizes[sizeIndex]; i+= 5)
        {   
            holaMundo += "ABCDE";
        }

        string.Format("\n**** For size: {0} ****\n", sizes[sizeIndex]).Dump();

        string odnuMaloh = DotNetReverse(holaMundo);

        var stopWatch = Stopwatch.StartNew();
        string result = NaiveReverse(holaMundo);
        ("Naive Ticks: " + stopWatch.ElapsedTicks).Dump();

        stopWatch.Restart();
        result = Reverse(holaMundo);
        ("Efficient linear Ticks: " + stopWatch.ElapsedTicks).Dump();

        stopWatch.Restart();
        result = RecursiveReverse(holaMundo);
        ("Recursive Ticks: " + stopWatch.ElapsedTicks).Dump();

        stopWatch.Restart();
        result = DotNetReverse(holaMundo);
        ("DotNet Reverse Ticks: " + stopWatch.ElapsedTicks).Dump();
    }
}
