Walkthrough

Adds a Go solution for Challenge 2 with a ReverseString function that reverses a string by converting it to runes and swapping elements in place, plus a main function that reads from standard input and prints the reversed result.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Challenge 2 string reversal solution
challenge-2/submissions/elecycele/solution-template.go
Introduces ReverseString(s string) string function implementing rune-based in-place reversal, and a main function that reads input line, calls ReverseString, and prints the output. Note: potential bug identified—initial index j uses len(s)-1 instead of len(runes)-1 for multi-byte rune handling.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 2 (Simple) | ⏱️ ~10 minutes

  • Attention area: The potential bug in index initialization (len(s)-1 vs len(runes)-1) should be verified for correctness with multi-byte Unicode runes, as this could cause out-of-bounds or incorrect behavior on strings containing characters outside the ASCII range.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Consider adding error handling for scanner.

The code doesn't check for scanner errors after Scan() returns. While this works for valid input, it silently ignores any I/O errors.

Apply this diff to add error handling:

 func main() {
 	// Read input from standard input
 	scanner := bufio.NewScanner(os.Stdin)
 	if scanner.Scan() {
 		input := scanner.Text()
 
 		// Call the ReverseString function
 		output := ReverseString(input)
 
 		// Print the result
 		fmt.Println(output)
 	}
+	if err := scanner.Err(); err != nil {
+		fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Error reading input: %v\n", err)
+		os.Exit(1)
+	}
 }

In challenge-2/submissions/elecycele/solution-template.go around lines 9 to 21,
the main function calls scanner.Scan() but does not check scanner.Err()
afterwards so I/O errors are silently ignored; after Scan() returns (and
before/after using input) call scanner.Err(), and if non-nil log or print the
error to stderr (e.g., fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr,...)) and exit with a non-zero
status (os.Exit(1)) so the program fails fast on I/O errors instead of silently
continuing.

Remove the TODO comment.

The function is fully implemented, so the TODO comment should be removed.

Apply this diff:

-	// TODO: Implement the function
 	runes := []rune(s)

In challenge-2/submissions/elecycele/solution-template.go around line 25, remove
the remaining "// TODO: Implement the function" comment because the function is
already implemented; simply delete that single-line TODO comment so the code no
longer contains stale task markers.

runes := []rune(s)
i := 0

⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 Critical

Critical bug: Use len(runes) instead of len(s).

Line 28 uses len(s) which returns the byte length of the string, not the rune count. For multi-byte UTF-8 characters, this will cause an index out of bounds panic.

Example: The string "你好" has 6 bytes but only 2 runes. Using j := len(s) - 1 sets j = 5, but runes only has indices 0-1, causing a panic when accessing runes[5].

Apply this diff to fix the bug:

-	j := len(s) -1
+	j := len(runes) - 1

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In challenge-2/submissions/elecycele/solution-template.go around line 28, the
code sets j := len(s) - 1 which uses byte length of the string and can panic for
multi-byte UTF-8 characters; change j to use the rune slice length (j :=
len(runes) - 1) so indexing matches the runes slice, ensuring all subsequent
accesses use rune indices rather than byte indices.
