for x in array[::-1]:
    do stuff

这个类使用Python魔法方法和迭代器进行反转，并反转列表:

class Reverse(object):
    """ Builds a reverse method using magic methods """

    def __init__(self, data):
        self.data = data
        self.index = len(data)


    def __iter__(self):
        return self

    def __next__(self):
        if self.index == 0:
            raise StopIteration

        self.index = self.index - 1
        return self.data[self.index]


REV_INSTANCE = Reverse([0, 10, 20, 40])

iter(REV_INSTANCE)

rev_list = []
for i in REV_INSTANCE:
    rev_list.append(i)

print(rev_list)  

输出

[40, 20, 10, 0]

for x in array[::-1]:
    do stuff

def reverse(my_list):
  L = len(my_list)
  for i in range(L/2):
    my_list[i], my_list[L-i - 1] = my_list[L-i-1], my_list[i]
  return my_list

内置功能最少，假设是面试设置

array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,7, 8]
inverse = [] #create container for inverse array
length = len(array)  #to iterate later, returns 8 
counter = length - 1  #because the 8th element is on position 7 (as python starts from 0)

for i in range(length): 
   inverse.append(array[counter])
   counter -= 1
print(inverse)

使用切片，例如array = array[::-1]，是一个简洁的技巧，非常python化，但对于新手来说可能有点晦涩。使用reverse()方法是进行日常编码的好方法，因为它易于阅读。

然而，如果你需要在面试问题中反转列表，你可能无法使用这些内置的方法。面试官会看你如何解决问题，而不是Python知识的深度，需要一个算法的方法。下面的例子，使用一个经典的交换，可能是一种方法:-

def reverse_in_place(lst):      # Declare a function
    size = len(lst)             # Get the length of the sequence
    hiindex = size - 1
    its = size/2                # Number of iterations required
    for i in xrange(0, its):    # i is the low index pointer
        temp = lst[hiindex]     # Perform a classic swap
        lst[hiindex] = lst[i]
        lst[i] = temp
        hiindex -= 1            # Decrement the high index pointer
    print "Done!"

# Now test it!!
array = [2, 5, 8, 9, 12, 19, 25, 27, 32, 60, 65, 1, 7, 24, 124, 654]

print array                    # Print the original sequence
reverse_in_place(array)        # Call the function passing the list
print array                    # Print reversed list


**The result:**
[2, 5, 8, 9, 12, 19, 25, 27, 32, 60, 65, 1, 7, 24, 124, 654]
Done!
[654, 124, 24, 7, 1, 65, 60, 32, 27, 25, 19, 12, 9, 8, 5, 2]

注意，这将不适用于元组或字符串序列，因为字符串和元组是不可变的，也就是说，您不能写入它们来更改元素。
