Array::Reverse Method (Array)

Reverses the sequence of the elements in the entire one-dimensional Array.

Namespace:  System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

public:
static void Reverse(
	Array^ array
)

Parameters

array
Type: System::Array
The one-dimensional Array to reverse.

ExceptionCondition
ArgumentNullException

array is nullptr.

RankException

array is multidimensional.

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.

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( "jumped", 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 ) );
}

/* 
 This code produces the following output.

 The Array instance initially contains the following values:
     [0]:    The
     [1]:    quick
     [2]:    brown
     [3]:    fox
     [4]:    jumped
     [5]:    over
     [6]:    the
     [7]:    lazy
     [8]:    dog
 After reversing:
     [0]:    dog
     [1]:    lazy
     [2]:    the
     [3]:    over
     [4]:    jumped
     [5]:    fox
     [6]:    brown
     [7]:    quick
     [8]:    The
