This was a fun little project. I wanted to put my solution up here to see if anyone had comments on how I could have done it better.
I am reasonably sure my weird little .reverse() approach might be considered a bit dodge. I wanted the array reversed to run my loops over it but didn’t want to mutate the original array. I was finding if I just made the new array equal to the old one and then reversed my new one… it also reversed the old one. If anyone can explain that, I would appreciate it.
