      ArrayList myAL = new ArrayList();

      myAL.Add( "over" );
      myAL.Add( "the" );
      myAL.Add( "lazy" );
      myAL.Add( "dog" );
      // Displays the values of the ArrayList.
      Console.WriteLine( "The ArrayList initially contains the following values:" );
      PrintValues( myAL );
      // Reverses the sort order of the values of the ArrayList.

Remarks
This method uses Array.Reverse to reverse the order of the elements, such that the element at ArrayList [i], where i is any index within the range, moves to ArrayList [j], where j equals index + index + count - i - 1.
This method is an O(n) operation, where n is Count.

Reverses the order of the elements in the specified range.
public:
 virtual void Reverse(int index, int count);public virtual void Reverse(int index, int count);abstract member Reverse : int * int -> unit
override this.Reverse : int * int -> unitPublic Overridable Sub Reverse (index As Integer, count As Integer)Parameters
- index
- Int32
The zero-based starting index of the range to reverse.
- count
- Int32
The number of elements in the range to reverse.
Exceptions
index and count do not denote a valid range of elements in the ArrayList.
The ArrayList is read-only.
