Print a list in reverse order with range()?

How can you produce the following list with range() in Python?

[9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0]

Answer

use reversed() function:

reversed(range(10))

It’s much more meaningful.

Update:

If you want it to be a list (as btk pointed out):

list(reversed(range(10)))

Update:

If you want to use only range to achieve the same result, you can use all its parameters. range(start, stop, step)

For example, to generate a list [5,4,3,2,1,0], you can use the following:

range(5, -1, -1)

It may be less intuitive but as the comments mention, this is more efficient and the right usage of range for reversed list.
