I have no idea, it was posted on Twitter by Nixcraft.

At first sight the answer is obviously another name for "arguments" as in "arguments passed to functions".

However they could have made it a bit more tricky by actually using split() and join() rather than using an empty string ("")

s.split("").reverse( ).join("");

However the issue I see, is there are no dots in between:

this str2 + this str3

(as in this.str2+this.str3)

Which I am fairly certain would make the code invalid. But I guess the dots could be there as the image is not that clear.

The real difficulty is, it could be, C++, Java, or even PHP, etc, all of which would look the same but produce different results.

So what is the answer then Tim!? Or anyone..

Hi Chris

The answer is: PARAMETERS (although it would be in lower case).

str2 + str3 + str1

str2 = reverse of "rap" = par
str3 = amet
str1 = ers

Simple really, even if the actual coding is woefully inaccurate ;-)

parameters = = arguments

I still hold to what I said previously.

So what programming language is it in?

I agree.

I think you may be right in Java ish, as the variable notation is actually slightly different to C etc, now I have looked at it a bit more carefully.
