reversed_list = systems[::-1]

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

Example 4: 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]

Example 5: list reverse

list.reverse()
