# Array.reverse() Method

## Name

Array.reverse() Method---reverse the elements of an array

## Availability

Navigator 3.0

## Synopsis

    array.reverse()

### Arguments

None.

### Returns

Nothing.

## Description

The `reverse()` method of an Array object reverses the order of the elements of an array. It does this "in place"--i.e., it rearranges the elements of the specified `array`, without creating a new array. If there are multiple references to `array`, then the new order of the array elements will be visible through all references.

## Example

    a = new Array(1, 2, 3); a[0] == 1, a[2] == 3;
    a.reverse();    now a[0] == 3, a[2] == 1;
