How to implement Array.prototype.reverse? JavaScript Interview Question | Problem Solving | JavaScript Polyfills

In this question, the candidate needs to implement a function customReverse that mimics the behaviour of Array.prototype.reverse method.

More about Array.prototype.reverse

The reverse() method reverses an array in place and returns the reference to the same array, the first array element now becoming the last, and the last array element becoming the first. In other words, elements order in the array will be turned towards the direction opposite to that previously stated.

Examples

const array = ['one', 'two', 'three'];
console.log('array:', array);
// expected output: "array:" Array ["one", "two", "three"]

const reversed = array.reverse();
console.log('reversed:', reversed);
// expected output: "reversed:" Array ["three", "two", "one"]

// Careful: reverse is destructive -- it changes the original array.
console.log('array:', array);
// expected output: "array:" Array ["three", "two", "one"]

Syntax

reverse()

Return value

The reference to the original array, now reversed. Note that the array is reversed in place, and no copy is made.
