Reversing a List in Python

In Python, you can reverse the order of elements in a list by using the reverse method.

listname.reverse()

This method swaps the position of the first element with the last, the second element with the second-to-last, and so forth.

A Practical Example

Consider the following list:

year = [2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014]

To reverse the list, you would type:

year.reverse()

After reversing, the list would look like this:

[2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010]

The reverse method doesn't change the data within the list; it merely reverses the order of the elements.
