Examples

The following code example shows how to reverse the sort of the values in an Array.

using namespace System;
void PrintIndexAndValues( Array^ myArray );
void main()
{
   // Creates and initializes a new Array instance.
   Array^ myArray = Array::CreateInstance( String::typeid, 9 );
   myArray->SetValue( "The", 0 );
   myArray->SetValue( "quick", 1 );
   myArray->SetValue( "brown", 2 );
   myArray->SetValue( "fox", 3 );
   myArray->SetValue( "jumps", 4 );
   myArray->SetValue( "over", 5 );
   myArray->SetValue( "the", 6 );
   myArray->SetValue( "lazy", 7 );
   myArray->SetValue( "dog", 8 );

   // Displays the values of the Array.
   Console::WriteLine(  "The Array instance initially contains the following values:" );
   PrintIndexAndValues( myArray );

   // Reverses the sort of the values of the Array.
   Array::Reverse( myArray );
   
   // Displays the values of the Array.
   Console::WriteLine(  "After reversing:" );
   PrintIndexAndValues( myArray );
}

void PrintIndexAndValues( Array^ myArray )
{
   for ( int i = myArray->GetLowerBound( 0 ); i <= myArray->GetUpperBound( 0 ); i++ )
      Console::WriteLine(  "\t[{0}]:\t{1}", i, myArray->GetValue( i ) );
}

Remarks

After a call to this method, the element at myArray[i], where i is any index in the array, moves to myArray[j], where j equals (myArray.Length + myArray.GetLowerBound(0)) - (i - myArray.GetLowerBound(0)) - 1.

This method is an O(n) operation, where n is the Length of array.

In F#, the Array.rev function can be used instead.

As the following example shows, the Reverse method can be used to reverse a jagged array. It initializes a jagged array with one element for each month of the current year in the current culture's calendar. Each element contains an array with as many elements as that month has days. The example displays the contents of the array, calls the Reverse method, and then displays the contents of the reversed array.

      int[][] months = new int[nMonths][];

      // Populate elements with number of days in month.
      for (int ctr = 0; ctr <= months.GetUpperBound(0); ctr++) {
         int daysInMonth = DateTime.DaysInMonth(DateTime.Now.Year, ctr + 1);
         months[ctr] = new int[daysInMonth] ;
         for (int ctr2 = 1; ctr2 <= daysInMonth; ctr2++)
            months[ctr][ctr2 - 1] = ctr2;
      }

      foreach (var month in months) {

Remarks

After a call to this method, the element at myArray[i], where i is any index in the array, moves to myArray[j], where j equals (myArray.Length + myArray.GetLowerBound(0)) - (i - myArray.GetLowerBound(0)) - 1.

The Reverse method can be used to reverse a jagged array.

This method is an O(n) operation, where n is length.
