in reply to Autogenerate descending arrays

aah! I completely forgot about reverse!
Thank you fellow monks for your feedback, testing also shows that reverse is twice as fast as my method. I'm happy there's more than one way to do it ( or anything ).

    By the way, using reverse is faster because this case is optimized as the action mentioned in the subject is very common :)

      How is it optimized?

        I stand corrected. Looks like foreach (reverse 1 .. 1000000) still generates a huge temporary list.
