python invert list order code example

Example 1: python sort list in reverse order

# there are two types of lists
# returns new list
sorted(list_name, reverse=True)

# changes list in place
list_name.sort(reverse=True)

Example 2: python sort list in reverse

#1 Changes list
list.sort(reverse=True)
#2 Returns sorted list
sorted(list, reverse=True)

Example 3: how to reverse a list in python

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

Example 4: python reverse list

# Operating System List
systems = ['Windows', 'macOS', 'Linux']
print('Original List:', systems)

# Reversing a list	
#Syntax: reversed_list = systems[start:stop:step] 
reversed_list = systems[::-1]

# updated list
print('Updated List:', reversed_list)

Example 5: python reverse list

# ----------- HOW TO REVERSE AN ORDERED LIST ----------- #

myList = [-1, 3, 8, 2, 9, 5]
sorted(myList,reverse=True)

>>> [9, 8, 5, 3, 2, -1]

OR

order_list = sorted(input1)
order_list[::-1]

>>> [9, 8, 5, 3, 2, -1]
