I assume you mean they want you to design and write a
function called reverseArray()?

You need to define a function to replace the call to reverse() above.

Do you know how to define a function? Can you write a function
that simply prints its input list?

If so then start with that and modify it to print each
item in the list individually.

Then modify that so it prints the items in reverse order.

Then modify it so that instead of printing it puts the items
into a new list

Finally, remove all print statements and return the new list.

Rewrite your original program to use your new function.

If you are stuck with any of that tell us about it, including
any code that you have tried.
