reverse

Type:	-	function (subr)
Source:	-	xllist.c

Syntax

(reverse list-expr)

list-expr - a list or list expression
returns - a new list in the reverse order

Description

The 'reverse' function reverses the 'list-expr'. The reversed list is the returned value. The reversal process only occurs on the 'top-level' of the 'list-expr'. If there are nested sub-lists, these are left intact.

Examples

(reverse NIL)                     ; returns NIL
(reverse 'a)                      ; error: bad argument type
(reverse '(a))                    ; returns (A)
(reverse '(a b c))                ; returns (C B A)
(reverse '((a b) (c d) (e f)))    ; returns ((E F) (C D) (A B))
(reverse (list (+ 1 2) (+ 3 4)))  ; returns (7 3)

See the reverse function in the XLISP 2.0 manual.
