The algorithm reverse(lst) below reverses a list in place. More precisely,
it satisfies the following precondition/postcondition pair:
Precondition: lst is an array of any length
Postcondition: lst upon completion of this algorithm, is mutated to the reversed
list. For example, if the list prior reversal is [1, 2, 3], after the algorithm is completed,
the content of the list is [3, 2, 1].
functon reverse(lst):
    n = len(lst)
    i, j = 0, n-1
    while i <= j:
        swap(lst[i], lst[j])
        i = i + 1
        j = j - 1
Provide a complete proof of correctness of this algorithm performing all four
steps.
