Hi,
Does anyone know of an efficient way of reversing the order of items in an array? Potentially hundreds of items, so it would be best not to iterate and copy them one by one to a new array…
all best

Possibly a very stupid question: is it unfeasible of reverting the
indexing with the help of lenarray? An efficient way of doing that might
be with linlin remapping indices running from 0.
Best wishes,

If you want to reverse an array in place then you loop on half the length and swap a[i] with a[n-1]. Of course fiddling the index as Jeanette suggested is more efficient but not always possible.

May i ask why this?
Just curious.
Thanks,

I wonder if an opcode to reverse 1-D arrays would be the fastest thing?

An optional argument of an existing opcode ?

A reversearray opcode would be nice, and also nice if it could be done as an extension of an existing opcode. Maybe slicearray could do it? (if istart is larger than iend, the output slice would be reversed)
iarr[] fillarray 1,2,3,4
ireverse slicearray iarr,3,0
(this does not work now btw, but could be practical)

I think reversearray would make it easier to find in the docs.
Btw, has there been any work done on this issue, is this something that is already in Csound 7?

And thanks for the linlin suggestion, Jeanette. It looks like a good way to get around it with existing opcodes.
Or allow a negative ‘istride’ argument (e.g. -1) for slicearray.
