That doesn't do the same thing, though. Given a list x, the original
function will empty that list and return a new list in reverse order,
but yours will return a reversed iterator over the original list
without changing it. This is more accurate, but still not identical,
and probably not what the OP's teacher is looking for:

def foo(x):
    y = x[::-1]
    x[:] = []
    return y

If the mutation of x is unimportant, it can simply be:

def foo(x):
    return x[::-1]
