example_number = 12143
example_string = "Hello there"

def reverse(thing): 
    thing = str(thing) # convert it to a string, just in case it was a number

    x = -1
    
    for char in list_of_chars:
      reversed_list_of_chars.append(list_of_chars[x])
      x += -1
    
    reversed_thing = ''.join(reversed_list_of_chars)
    
    return reversed_thing
    # Or alternatively do:
    print(reversed_thing)

# Run it by doing this
reverse(example_number)
reverse(example_string)
