Reverse Examples

The general syntax for this method is:

Array.Reverse(arrayName)

This method reverses the order of the indices.

Example

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
string[] pets = new string[]
{
   "Alyce",
   "Thisbe",
   "Francis",
   "Scratch",
   "Beatrice",
   "Shadow",
   "Beatrice"
};

Console.WriteLine(pets.GetValue(1));

Array.Reverse(pets);

Console.WriteLine(pets.GetValue(1));

Output

Thisbe
Shadow

Reversing Sections

Reversing a section of an array is possible, too. The general syntax is as follows:

Array.Reverse(arrayName, startingIndex, rangeIndex);

Example

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
13
string[] pets = new string[]
{
   "Alyce",
   "Thisbe",
   "Francis",
   "Scratch",
   "Beatrice",
   "Shadow",
   "Beatrice"
};


Array.Reverse(pets, 0, 3);

If you are looking for reverse alphabetical order, you will need to use this along with the Sort method.
