Kotlin List reversed()
Syntax & Examples

Syntax of List.reversed()

The syntax of List.reversed() extension function is:

fun <T> Iterable<T>.reversed(): List<T>

This reversed() extension function of List returns a list with elements in reversed order.

✐ Examples

1 Example

In this example,

We create a list named list containing the integers [1, 2, 3, 4, 5].
We use the reversed function to reverse the order of elements in the list.
The reversed list is stored in a variable named reversedList.
Finally, we print the reversed list to standard output using the println function.

Kotlin Program

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    val list = listOf(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
    val reversedList = list.reversed();
    println(reversedList);
}

Output

[5, 4, 3, 2, 1]

2 Example

In this example,

We create a list named list containing the characters ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'].
We use the reversed function to reverse the order of elements in the list.
The reversed list is stored in a variable named reversedList.
Finally, we print the reversed list to standard output using the println function.

Kotlin Program

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    val list = listOf('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e');
    val reversedList = list.reversed();
    println(reversedList);
}

Output

[e, d, c, b, a]

3 Example

In this example,

We create a list named list containing the strings ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry', 'date', 'elderberry'].
We use the reversed function to reverse the order of elements in the list.
The reversed list is stored in a variable named reversedList.
Finally, we print the reversed list to standard output using the println function.

Kotlin Program

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    val list = listOf("apple", "banana", "cherry", "date", "elderberry");
    val reversedList = list.reversed();
    println(reversedList);
}

Output

[elderberry, date, cherry, banana, apple]
