Reverse( s )
s

Maple string
The Reverse(s) command returns a string formed by reversing the characters in string s.
All of the StringTools package commands treat strings as (null-terminated) sequences of 8-bit (ASCII) characters. Thus, there is no support for multibyte character encodings, such as unicode encodings.

The following example shows how to determine which words from a dictionary are such that the reversed word is also in the dictionary (other than palindromes). You may need to edit the location of the dictionary file for your system.

Now eliminate the palindromes, convert the set to a list and sort it for easier perusal.
