📚 Problem Statement
Write a function that reverses a string.
The input string is given as an array of characters s.
You must modify the input array in-place with O(1) extra memory.
Example:
Input: s = ["h","e","l","l","o"]
Output: ["o","l","l","e","h"]
Explanation:
We swap characters from both ends and move toward the center until the entire string is reversed.
This is a commonly asked interview question because it tests your understanding of:
Two Pointers
Strings
Arrays
In-Place Algorithms
Optimization Techniques
