Explanation: The Two-Pointer Approach
Breaking down the logic for optimal array reversal
01.
Initialize Pointers
Start with two indices: one at the beginning (0) and one at the very end (length - 1) of your array structure.
02.
Swap Elements
While the left index is less than the right, swap the elements at these positions. This "flips" the array from the outside in.
03.
Converge Center
Increment the left pointer and decrement the right pointer until they meet in the middle. The reversal is complete!
