title: Reverse a string without using reversed() or [::-1]?
body: <p>I came across a strange Codecademy exercise that required a function that would take a string as input and return it in reverse order. The only problem was you could not use the reversed method or the common answer here on stackoverflow, <code>[::-1]</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Obviously in the real world of programming, one would most likely go with the <a href="http://docs.python.org/release/2.3.5/whatsnew/section-slices.html" rel="noreferrer">extended slice</a> method, or even using the <code>reversed</code> function but perhaps there is some case where this would not work?</p>
  
  <p>I present a solution below in Q&amp;A style, in case it is helpful for people in the future.</p>
