This is actually O(n^2) because s[0..s.length - 2] creates an entirely new string of length n-1.

def reverse(s)

if s.empty?

Space complexity is O(n) due to the system stack.

Great work! 👍

This one is O(n^2) for the same reasons as reverse, for both space & time

O(n^2), think about how you solved reverse in place, could you use that technique to make this more efficient?
