reverse() method to reverse the position of elements of the list

reverse() takes no arguments .

It does not take any arguments and modifies the original list, returning the elements in reverse order. This method is useful when you want to flip the arrangement of list items quickly.

my_list=['a','b','c','d','x','y','z']
my_list.reverse()
print(my_list)

Output

['z', 'y', 'x', 'd', 'c', 'b', 'a']

Reversing Numeric Lists:
This example flips the order of numbers in the list.

numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
numbers.reverse()
print(numbers)  # Output: [5, 4, 3, 2, 1]

Use Case: Undoing Sorting: If you've sorted a list and want to restore its original order:

items = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']
items.sort()      # ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']
items.reverse()   # ['cherry', 'banana', 'apple']

Reversing String Lists:

words = ['one', 'two', 'three']
words.reverse()
print(words)  # Output: ['three', 'two', 'one']

Example 1: Reversing a List of Numbers

my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
my_list.reverse()
print(my_list)  # Output: [5, 4, 3, 2, 1]

Example 2: Combining sort() and reverse()

my_list = [4, 2, 9, 1]
my_list.sort()
my_list.reverse()
print(my_list)  # Output: [9, 4, 2, 1]

Example 3: Reversing a List with Mixed Data Types

my_list = [1, "apple", 3.14]
my_list.reverse()
print(my_list)  # Output: [3.14, 'apple', 1]

Use the reverse() method for in-place modification of lists, which is efficient when working with data that needs quick reordering.
