public class Reverse {
    public static void main (String args[]) {
        String string = "hello world";
        System.out.println(reverse(string)); //prints dlrow olleh
    }

    public static String reverse(String s) {
        if (s.length() == 1) {
            return s;
        }
    
        return reverse(s.substring(1)) + s.charAt(0);
    }
}
