Javascript has a reverse() method that you can call in an array

var a = [3,5,7,8];
a.reverse(); // 8 7 5 3

Not sure if that's what you mean by 'libraries you can't use', I'm guessing something to do with practice. If that's the case, you can implement your own version of .reverse()

function reverseArr(input) {
    var ret = new Array;
    for(var i = input.length-1; i >= 0; i--) {
        ret.push(input[i]);
    }
    return ret;
}

var a = [3,5,7,8]
var b = reverseArr(a);

Do note that the built-in .reverse() method operates on the original array, thus you don't need to reassign a.

I've found out that your code almost works. You just need to modify the condition a bit to

i < (list.length / 2) //not `<=`

function rev(list) {
  for (let i = 0, j = (list.length - 1); i < (list.length / 2); i++, j--) {
    [list[i], list[j]] = [list[j], list[i]];
  }
  return (list);
};

console.log(rev([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]));
console.log(rev(["School", 89, { id: 12 }, "String"]));
