reverse list in place code example

Example 1: reverse list python

>>> the_list = [1,2,3]
>>> reversed_list = the_list.reverse()
>>> list(reversed_list)
[3,2,1]

OR

>>> the_list = [1,2,3]
>>> the_list[::-1]
[3,2,1]

Example 2: list slicing reverse python

#This option produces a reversed copy of the list. Contrast this to mylist.reverse() which
#reverses the original list
>>> mylist
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

>>> mylist[::-1]
[5, 4, 3, 2, 1]
