Reversing a string hangs the tab — JavaScript debugging challenge | BugHunt

javascriptInfinite loopMedium

Reversing a string hangs the tab

Time: 0:00

What it should do

reverseString(text) should return the string backwards, so "abc" becomes "cba".

What goes wrong

Calling reverseString("abc") freezes and never returns a value.

Hints

This is an infinite loops bug

The tab freezes, nothing prints, and the loop condition never becomes false.
