Reverse an array

[MyEarth]

With 2D array, how i can reverse all the row of all column like the first value become last, the last the first? I need to start from the first row and avoid the 0 index

#include <Array.au3>

Global $avArray[11][2]

$avArray[0][0] = ""
$avArray[0][1] = ""
$avArray[1][0] = 1
$avArray[2][0] = 2
$avArray[3][0] = 3
$avArray[4][0] = 4
$avArray[5][0] = 5
$avArray[6][0] = 6
$avArray[7][0] = 7
$avArray[8][0] = 8
$avArray[9][0] = 9
$avArray[10][0] = 10
$avArray[1][1] = "J"
$avArray[2][1] = "I"
$avArray[3][1] = "H"
$avArray[4][1] = "G"
$avArray[5][1] = "F"
$avArray[6][1] = "E"
$avArray[7][1] = "D"
$avArray[8][1] = "C"
$avArray[9][1] = "B"
$avArray[10][1] = "A"

_ArrayDisplay($avArray)

Many thanks. Oh, avoid the zero index doesn't mean i want to remove, i want to preserve from the reversing, a function with a parameter like $iStart = 1

Not tested:

I have tested it, that reverse all the array but i want to preserve the 0 index from the reversing, a function with a parameter like $iStart = 1. So need a small change or a total rewrite, dunno.

_ArrayDisplay($a)


Func _Reverse2DArray($aArray)
    $rows = Ubound($aArray)
    $columns = Ubound($aArray, 2)
    Local $aTemp[$rows][$columns]
    
    For $Y = 1 to $rows-1        
        For $X = 0 to $columns-1
            $aTemp[$Y][$X] = $aArray[$rows - $Y ][$X]
        Next
    Next
    Return $aTemp
EndFunc

How many time i need to say that i need to preserve the index zero?

Change the first row with this

$avArray[0][0] = "ASD"
$avArray[0][1] = "ASD"

And you will see that will be deleted after reversing. A parameter like $iStart = 1 was the best solution, so other can use it. Thanks

There is normally no reason to reverse an array. It usually makes more sense to access elements as if they were in reverse order. A typical method for accessing the data in reverse order would be to loop backwards from $aArray[0] To 1 Step -1 [or use Ubound($aArray) To 0 Step -1].

czardas,

While knowing this method I'm pretty sure I saw a kind of  _ArrayReverse() somewhere in the helpfile 

[MyEarth]

_ArrayReverse is only for 1D array ( Failure - 0, sets @error: $avArray is not a 1 dimensional array )

What is the best method? Accessing the array in the same way by mikell/weaponx or the _arrayreverse "style" so using Step -1? Or is the same?

[mikell]

The best method as czardas said is by far to leave your array untouched and loop backwards if needed

ArrayReverse (in fact any array transformation) should be used as less as possible

Ok, thanks to all
