fun main() { 
   //sampleStart 
   val original = mutableListOf('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e')
val originalReadOnly = original as List<Char>
val reversed = originalReadOnly.asReversed()

println(original) // [a, b, c, d, e]
println(reversed) // [e, d, c, b, a]

// changing the original list affects its reversed view
original.add('f')
println(original) // [a, b, c, d, e, f]
println(reversed) // [f, e, d, c, b, a]

original[original.lastIndex] = 'z'
println(original) // [a, b, c, d, e, z]

   //sampleEnd

@JvmName(name = "asReversedMutable")
fun <T> MutableList<T>.asReversed(): MutableList<T>(source)
