Function that takes a String parameter and reverses it C++ - c++

Question

I want to create a function that takes a string parameter, reverses it and returns the reversed string. There have been some answers, but none work fully.
Here is my code:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
string revStr(string word){
string reversed = "";
if(word.size() == 0)
{
return reversed;
}
for (int i = word.length()-1; i>=0; i--){
reversed = reversed+word[i];
}
return reversed;
}
int main(){
string strin;
cout << "enter string;" << endl;
cin>> strin;
cout << revStr(strin);
}
This works only for strings that do not contain a space. When I type in Hello World, it return olleH.

Answer 1

basic_string::operator>>:
2) Behaves as an FormattedInputFunction. After constructing and checking the sentry object, which may skip leading whitespace, first clears str with str.erase(), then reads characters from is and appends them to str as if by str.append(1, c), until one of the following conditions becomes true: [...]
std::isspace(c,is.getloc()) is true for the next character c in is (this whitespace character remains in the input stream).
The method you use by definition reads until a white-space, so you read only Hello into strin. You should use another method for reading like getline or stringstream.

Answer 2

You need to use std::getline to input strings with a space.
For reversing your std::string, consider using std::reverse from <algorithm>, although your algorithm is correct too.
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <algorithm>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
string strin;
cout << "enter string;" << endl;
getline(cin,strin);
reverse(strin.begin() , strin.end() );
cout << strin;
}

Answer 3

See, cin halts the input at any occurrence of a space or a newline character. So, to input a string with spaces, you'd have to use cin.getline() and that can be done by using the following snippet:
string S;
cin.getline(1000,'\n');
This would take input till the newline character into string S and then we just have to reverse the string, and that can be done in two ways.
Method 1:
Using std::reverse from <algorithm> header file. This function works with all containers and takes iterators as parameters.
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
ios_base::sync_with_stdio(false);
string S;
getline(cin,S);
reverse(S.begin(), S.end());
return 0;
}
Method 2:
You can create your function which swaps the characters at positions equidistant from end and start, and you get what you need in O(n) time-complexity.
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
string myfunc(string S)
{
int l = 0;
int r = S.size()-1;
while(l<r)
{
swap(S[l],S[r]);
l++;
r--;
}
return S;
}
int main()
{
ios_base::sync_with_stdio(false);
string S;
getline(cin,S);
S = myfunc(S);
cout<<S;
return 0;
}

Answer 4

What I think is you could do fine with your revStr() but you need to get a whole line input, but using cin considers space as a delimiter, hence you get only Hello out of Hello World.
Replace cin >> strin with getline(cin,strin).
