You are given a string 'STR'. The string contains [a-z] [A-Z] [0-9] [special characters]. You have to find the reverse of the string.

For example:

 If the given string is: STR = "abcde". You have to print the string "edcba".
follow up:
Try to solve the problem in O(1) space complexity. 
Problem approach

input = input()
ans = ""
for (int i = len(input)-1; i >= 0; i--){
ans += input[i];
}
print(ans)

You are given an integer, all you have to do is to find whether this number is a Fibonacci number or not.

Fn is said to be a Fibonacci sequence such that each number in Fn is the sum of its two preceding numbers, starting with 0 and 1.

Fn = F(n-1) + F(n-2)

fn is said to be a Fibonacci number if it is a part of the Fn/Fibonacci sequence.

Problem approach

The Fibonacci Sequence is the series of numbers: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ...

The next number is found by adding up the two numbers before it:

the 2 is found by adding the two numbers before it (1+1),
the 3 is found by adding the two numbers before it (1+2),
the 5 is (2+3),
and so on!

3. Technical Questions

1. Oops concept
2. Difference between truncate and drop
3. Code to reverse string
4. Difference between while and do while
5. Difference between break and continue
6. What is normalization and denormalization
