Reversing an Array in Java [duplicate]

Answer 1

try this:

public int[] reverse3(int[] nums) {
    int[] reversed = new int[nums.length];
    for (int i=0; i<nums.length; i++) {
        reversed[i] = nums[nums.length - 1 - i];
    }
    return reversed;
}

My input was:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12

And the output I got:

12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Answer 2

If you don't want to use Collections then you can do this:

for (i = 0; i < array.length / 2; i++) {
  int temp = array[i];
  array[i] = array[array.length - 1 - i];
  array[array.length - 1 - i] = temp;
}

Answer 3

you messed up

int[] firstArray = new int[]{1,2,3,4};
int[] reversedArray = new int[firstArray.length];
int j = 0;
for (int i = firstArray.length -1; i >= 0; i--){
    reversedArray[j++] = firstArray[i];
}

Answer 4

I would do something like this:

public int[] reverse3(int[] nums) {
  int[] numsReturn = new int[nums.length()]; 
  int count = nums.length()-1;
  for(int num : nums) {
    numsReturn[count] = num;
    count--;
  }
  return numsReturn;
}

Answer 5

In case you don't want to use a temporary variable, you can also do like this:

final int len = arr.length;
for (int i=0; i < (len/2); i++) {
    arr[i] += arr[len - 1 - i]; //  a = a+b
    arr[len - 1 - i] = arr[i] - arr[len - 1 - i];   //  b = a-b
    arr[i] -= arr[len - 1 - i]; //  a = a-b
}

Answer 6

you can send the original array to a method for example:

after that you create a new array to hold the reversed elements

public static void reverse(int[] a){

int[] reversedArray = new int[a.length];

for(int i = 0 ; i<a.length; i++){
reversedArray[i] = a[a.length -1 -i];


}
