# Python reverse a list

You can make use of the [`reversed`](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0322/) function for this as:

```
>>> array=[0,10,20,40]
>>> for i in reversed(array):
...     print(i)
```

Note that `reversed(...)` does not return a list. You can get a reversed list using `list(reversed(array))`.
