Reversing a List Without Built-in Functions in Python

Day 8/365: Reversing a List Without Using Built‑in Functions 🔁🧠 Today I revisited a very common operation in programming: reversing a list. But instead of using Python’s built‑in methods like reverse() or slicing (n[::-1]), I implemented the logic manually using two pointers and a while loop. Why this exercise matters: 1. It forces me to think about how data is stored and changed in memory. 2. I practiced the two‑pointer technique, which is used a lot in array and string problems. 3. It reminded me that behind every “simple” built‑in method, there is an actual algorithm. Day 8 done ✅ 357 more to go. If you have similar two‑pointer problems (like checking palindromes or partitioning arrays), send them my way — I’d love to try them next. #100DaysOfCode #365DaysOfCode #Python #LogicBuilding #TwoPointers #ListManipulation #CodingJourney #LearnInPublic #AspiringDeveloper

Two pointer technique. Time complexity O(n) in the worst case. Space complexity remains O(1).
