Example:

In the example below, reversed() function is used to reverse the order of all elements of a given iterable.

MyList = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
print(list(reversed(MyList)))

MyTuple = (10, 20, 30, 40, 50)
print(list(reversed(MyTuple)))

MyString = 'JOHN'
print(list(reversed(MyString)))

MyRange = range(20, 25)
print(list(reversed(MyRange)))
