Of course yes. This is simple enough. Are you ready to try it on your own?

My implementation is a subroutine that contains only 3 statements using a recursive scheme. This is one way.

Another way: you can always find the length() of the string, so you know the largest character position is 1 less than that value, then write a loop to read each character backwards with substr().
