%% Just a naive reverse function in order

nrev([X | Xs]) ->
    append(X, nrev(Xs));  % Quadratic behaviour
nrev([]) ->
    %% The trivial case:
    [].

  %% We need `append' as a subroutine:

append(Y, [X | Xs]) ->
    [X | append(Y, Xs)];    % Simple, innit?
append(Y, []) ->
    [Y].    % Done.
