There are several different approaches on how to reverse an array in Python.

They include:

  • Reversing an array using list slicing.
  • Reversing an array using Data Structures and Algorithms.
  • Reversing an array using List methods and functions.

Reversing An Array In Python Using Data Structures & Algorithms

def reverse(nums):
  
    #Pointing to the first element
    start_index = 0
    #Pointing to the last element
    end_index = len(nums)-1

    while end_index > start_index:
        nums[start_index],nums[end_index] = nums[end_index],nums[start_index]
        start_index = start_index + 1
        end_index = end_index -1

if __name__ == '__main__':
    n = [1,2,3,4,5]
    reverse(n)
    print(n)

Output:

[5,4,3,2,1]

Reversing A Python Array Using List Slicing

array = [1,2,3,4,5]
print(array[::-1])

Output:

[5,4,3,2,1]

Reverse An Array Using List Methods And Functions

array = [1,2,3,4,5]
array.reverse()
print(array)

Output:

[5,4,3,2,1]
