:::warning
You must do this by modifying the input array in-place with O(1) extra memory.
:::
### Example 1:
- Input: `s = ["h","e","l","l","o"]`
- Output: `["o","l","l","e","h"]`
### Example 2:
- Input: `s = ["H","a","n","n","a","h"]`
- Output: `["h","a","n","n","a","H"]`
### Constraints:
- `1 <= s.length <= 10^5`
- `s[i]` is a printable ascii character.
## Approach
```mermaid
flowchart TD
S(["reverseString(s)"]) --> I["i = 0, j = s.length - 1"]
I --> W{"i < j?"}
W -- no --> E(["done — s was reversed in place, nothing returned"])
W -- yes --> A["swap s[i] and s[j]"]
A --> B["i++; j--"]
B --> W
```
## Solution
```js
/**
* @param {character[]} s
* @return {void} Do not return anything, modify s in-place instead.
*/
var reverseString = function(s) {
let i = 0;
let j = s.length - 1;
while (i < j) {
[s[i], s[j]] = [s[j], s[i]];
j--;
i++;
}
};
```
