How to iterate a list in reverse order in Java

To iterate a list in reverse order, there is a simple method: for loop that counts from list.size() - 1 to 0 and selects the respective element with list.get(i). But there is also a possibility with an iterator.

Similar to the well-known iterator, there is also a listIterator() method in the List interface that returns a ListIterator. This contains possibilities to iterate the list in both directions and to change it.

import java.util.*;

public class Main
{
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
        List<String> names = new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList("Alex", "Thomas", "Emily", "Bob", "Jean"));
        
        ListIterator<String> listIterator = names.listIterator(names.size());
        
        while(listIterator.hasPrevious()) 
        {
            System.out.println(listIterator.previous());
        }
    }
}

This example produces the following output:

Jean
Bob
Emily
Thomas
Alex

Of course, you could also simply reverse the order of the list, but this would change the original list.
