Step 1: Understand the problem statement.
Step 2: Decide on a strategy. One common approach to reverse a string is to iterate through the string from the end to the beginning and append each character to a new string.
Step 4: Test the solution with sample inputs.
Step 5: Analyze the time and space complexity of the solution.
Step 6: Optimize the solution if necessary.
Step 7: Discuss the solution with an interviewer to ensure clarity and understanding.

Step 2: Decide on a strategy. One common approach to check for a palindrome is to compare the characters from the beginning of the string with the corresponding characters from the end of the string.

Fill the 5-gallon jug to the top.
Pour the water from the 5-gallon jug into the 3-gallon jug until the 3-gallon jug is full (which leaves exactly 2 gallons of water in the 5-gallon jug).
Empty the 3-gallon jug.
Pour the remaining 2 gallons of water from the 5-gallon jug into the empty 3-gallon jug.
Fill the 5-gallon jug to the top again.
Pour water from the filled 5-gallon jug into the 3-gallon jug until the 3-gallon jug is full. Since the 3-gallon jug already has 2 gallons of water, you can only pour in 1 more gallon from the 5-gallon jug, leaving 4 gallons of water in the 5-gallon jug.
