+## Running the tests
+
+Choose your operating system:
+
+- [Windows](#windows)
+- [macOS](#macos)
+- [Linux](#linux)
+
+## Windows
+
+1. Open a Command Prompt.
+2. Get the first exercise:
+
+   ```batchfile
+   C:\Users\JohnDoe>exercism download --exercise hello-world --track java
+   ```
+
+3. Change directory into the exercism:
+
+   ```batchfile
+   C:\Users\JohnDoe>cd C:\Users\JohnDoe\exercism\java\hello-world
+   ```
+
+4. Run the tests:
+
+   ```batchfile
+   C:\Users\JohnDoe>gradlew.bat test
+   ```
+
+   _(Don't worry about the tests failing, at first, this is how you begin each exercise.)_
+
+5. Solve the exercise. Find and work through the `instructions.append.md` guide ([view on GitHub](https://github.com/exercism/java/blob/main/exercises/practice/hello-world/.docs/instructions.append.md#tutorial)).
+
+Good luck! Have fun!

+# Reverse String
+
+Welcome to Reverse String on Exercism's Java Track.
+If you need help running the tests or submitting your code, check out `HELP.md`.
+
+## Introduction
+
+Reversing strings (reading them from right to left, rather than from left to right) is a surprisingly common task in programming.
+
+For example, in bioinformatics, reversing the sequence of DNA or RNA strings is often important for various analyses, such as finding complementary strands or identifying palindromic sequences that have biological significance.
+
+## Instructions
+
+Your task is to reverse a given string.
+
+Some examples:
+
+- Turn `"stressed"` into `"desserts"`.
+- Turn `"strops"` into `"sports"`.
+- Turn `"racecar"` into `"racecar"`.
+
+For more help on how to solve this exercise, please refer to the tutorial provided as part of the [hello world](https://exercism.org/tracks/java/exercises/hello-world) exercise.
