26 code project (reverse a string) help

Question

Can someone help me with this project? Here's the code that I have so far, but it doesn't seem to be working:

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.Arrays;

public class Program
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
String text = scanner.nextLine();
char[] arr = text.toCharArray();
String r = reverse("hello there");
System.out.println(r);

}
public static String reverse(String s) {
char[] letters = new char[s.length()];
int letterIndex = 0;
for (int i = s.length() - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
letters[letterIndex] = s.charAt(i);
letterIndex++;
}
String reverse = "";
for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {
reverse = reverse + letters[i];
}
return reverse;
}
}

Why did you paas Hard Code value in reverse method?

Do this:

String r = reverse(text);

You should also try this

String text = scanner.nextLine();
char[] arr = text.toCharArray();
for(int x = arr.length - 1; x >= 0; x--){
System.out.print(arr[x]);
