            mylist.add("PHP");
            mylist.add("Python");
            mylist.add("COBOL");
            System.out.println("Original List:- " + mylist);

Output:

Original List:- [Java, PHP, Python, COBOL]
Modified List:- [COBOL, Python, PHP, Java]

	public static void main(String[] args) {		
		//Create a list of Integer
            List<Integer>  mylist = new ArrayList<Integer>();
            mylist.add(1);
            mylist.add(2);
            mylist.add(3);
            mylist.add(4);
            System.out.println("Original List:- " + mylist);

Output:

Original List:- [1, 2, 3, 4]
Modified List:- [4, 3, 2, 1]

Example 3

import java.util.*;
public class CollectionsReverseExample3 {
	public static void main(String[] args) {		
		//Create an array of integers
            Integer arr[] = {10, -20, 30, -40, 50}; 
            System.out.println("Original Array : " +Arrays.toString(arr));       
            Collections.reverse(Arrays.asList(arr));         
            System.out.println("Modified Array : " +Arrays.toString(arr));
	      }
}

Test it Now

Output:

Original Array : [10, -20, 30, -40, 50]
Modified Array : [50, -40, 30, -20, 10]
