how to reverse a list in 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]

#1 Changes list
list.sort(reverse=True)
#2 Returns sorted list
sorted(list, reverse=True)

mylist
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

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

my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
my_list.reverse()

list.reverse()

a = [1,2,3,4]
a = a[::-1]
print(a)
>>> [4,3,2,1]

my_list = [1, 7, 9, 11, 12, 20]
# Reverse a list by using a slice
print(my_list[::-1])

>>> L = [0,10,20,40]
>>> L[::-1]
[40, 20, 10, 0]

# ----------- 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]
 

# Operating System List
systems = ['Windows', 'macOS', 'Linux']
print('Original List:', systems)

# Reversing a list	
#Syntax: reversed_list = systems[start:stop:step] 
reversed_list = systems[::-1]

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