Any time you get a SyntaxError, it means that you have coded something
which does not match the specified syntax of the language version.
Assuming you copied and pasted the above, I can see an error:
for br in b
The for statement must have a colon at the end of line e.g. a complete for
statement and block is:
for br in b:
print br
This will output the characters one per line (on Python 3.x), since that is
what the reversed() iterator will return. You will need to do something
else to get it back to a single string.
Have you read through the python tutorials?
https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/
or for Python 2.x:
