How to Reverse a List in Python

Reversing a list in Python can be done using several simple methods. Here are the most common approaches:

1. Using the reverse() Method

The reverse() method reverses the list in place (modifies the original list).

2. Using List Slicing

List slicing creates a reversed copy of the list.

3. Using the reversed() Function

The reversed() function returns an iterator that can be converted into a list.

4. Using a Loop

You can reverse a list manually using a loop.

5. Using numpy (Optional)

If working with numerical lists, you can use numpy.

Which Method to Use?

• reverse(): When you want to modify the original list.
• Slicing or reversed(): When you want a reversed copy.
• Loop: For a step-by-step approach.
• numpy: When working with numerical data in larger contexts.
