Python3 reversing an inputed sentence
I am trying to create a function that reverses a sentence that a user inputs but when I run the program I am not getting the sentence in reverse. Bellow is my code
sentence=input('Enter a sentence: ')
def sentence_reverse(sentence):
words=sentence.split()
newsentence=words.reverse()
return (newsentence)
print(sentence_reverse(sentence))

you can do this
def reverse(s):
if len(s) == 0:
return s
else:
return reverse(s[1:]) + s[0]
or :
def reverse2(s):
return s[::-1]

They seem to want to reverse by word, not by letter.

reverse() is an in-place operation, meaning it reverses words itself and doesnt return anything. So instead of returning newsentence, you want to return words like so:
sentence=input('Enter a sentence: ')
def sentence_reverse(sentence):
words=sentence.split()
words.reverse()
return words
print(sentence_reverse(sentence))
>>>Enter a sentence: hello world
>>>['world', 'hello']

Here is a simplest way to solve your problem:

def sentence_reverse(sentence):
words= sentence.split() # breaks the sentence into words
rev_sentence= ''
for word in words:
rev_sentence = ' ' + word + rev_sentence
return rev_sentence
print(sentence_reverse(sentence))
Input: Hi please reverse me
Ouput: me reverse please Hi
Hope this helps you. Kindly let me know if anything else is needed.

Welcome to StackOverflow!
The reason is because you are using split() but it does not convert your input string into the list of its character. It just make a list with one element, which is your input string. Instead, convert the string to list using list() function, and then convert it back to string using join() function. In addition to that, reverse() returns nothing. So, you have to returns the words variable instead.
sentence=input('Enter a sentence: ')
def sentence_reverse(sentence):
words=list(sentence)
words.reverse()
return ''.join(words)
print(sentence_reverse(sentence))

The reason is because you are using split() but it does not convert your input string into the list of its character. It just make a list with one element, which is your input string. Instead, convert the string to list using list() function, and then convert it back to string using join() function. In addition to that, reverse() returns nothing.
