Overall nice work, you hit the learning goals here. Well done. Check my comments below especially with regard to time/space complexity. Let me know if you have questions.

s[1..-1]
creates a new array and copies all the individual elements over and so is O(n) by itself.

This works, but because you create a new array with each recursive call this is O(n2) for both time/space complexity.

👍 Time & space complexity is O(n)

- You are doing recursion so the system stack applies to the space complexity (at least O(n))
- Since you are doing
array.shift
this is by itself an O(n) time operation. Combined with the recursion it's O(n2)

👍 This works, but you have similar time/space issues with the above methods.

O(2n), actually
Space complexity O(n)

Yeah... IDK if I'm allowed to solve reverse_inplace the way I did...
