With minimum amount of built-in functions, assuming it's interview settings

array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,7, 8]
inverse = [] #create container for inverse array
length = len(array)  #to iterate later, returns 8 
counter = length - 1  #because the 8th element is on position 7 (as python starts from 0)

for i in range(length): 
   inverse.append(array[counter])
   counter -= 1
print(inverse)
