How to combine individual characters in one string in python [duplicate]

Question

I have code like this:

def reverse(text):
    l=len(text)
    while ((l-1)!=0):
        print (str(text[l-1]))

        l=l-1
    print (str(text[0]))   

a=reverse("abc!de@fg")

The output is:

g
f
@
e
d
!
c
b
a

but I want to combine these individual characters and want out put like this:

gf@ed!cba 

Answer 1

To print without the newline at the end of each line do:

print('text', end='')

To take a list of characters and make them one string, do:

''.join(list_of_characters)

Answer 2

def reverse(text):
    if len(text) <= 1:
        return text
    return reverse(text[1:]) + text[0]
print (reverse('abc!de@fg'))
