3. Reverse the Order of Items in an Array

Write a Python program to reverse the order of the items in the array.

Pictorial Presentation:

Sample Solution:

Python Code :

from array import *
array_num = array('i', [1, 3, 5, 3, 7, 1, 9, 3])
print("Original array: "+str(array_num))
array_num.reverse()
print("Reverse the order of the items:")
print(str(array_num))

Sample Output:

Original array: array('i', [1, 3, 5, 3, 7, 1, 9, 3])                   
Reverse the order of the items:                                        
array('i', [3, 9, 1, 7, 3, 5, 3, 1])
