Problem Explanation Reversing an array means rearranging its elements so that the first element becomes the last, the second becomes the second-last, and so on. Example: Input: arr = [1, 4, 3, 2, 6, 5] Output: [5, 6, 2, 3, 4, 1] Input: arr = [4, 5, 1, 2] Output: [2, 1, 5, 4] Method Used: Two Pointer Technique This method uses two pointers: One starting from the beginning (left) One starting from the end (right) We swap elements at these positions and move the pointers toward each other until they meet. Why This Method? Efficient with time complexity O(n) Uses no extra space (O(1) space complexity) Simple and clean logic Compared to creating a new reversed array, this approach is more optimal. Python Code def reverse_array(arr): left = 0 right = len(arr) - 1 while left < right: arr[left], arr[right] = arr[right], arr[left] left += 1 right -= 1 return arr arr = [1, 4, 3, 2, 6, 5] print(reverse_array(arr)) Code Explanation (Line by Line) def reverse_array(arr): Defines a function to re
