With a block given, passes each element of self to the block in reverse order:

Example

a = []
(1..4).reverse_each {|element| a.push(element) } # => 1..4
a # => [4, 3, 2, 1]

a = []
(1...4).reverse_each {|element| a.push(element) } # => 1...4
a # => [3, 2, 1]

With no block given, returns an enumerator.

Ruby version changes

3.3
- Range#reverse_each can now process beginless ranges with an Integer endpoint. [Feature #18515]
- Range#reverse_each now raises TypeError for endless ranges. [Feature #18551]
