Question

Given an array, rotate the array to the right by k steps, where k is non-negative.

Example 1:

Input: [1,2,3,4,5,6,7] and k = 3 Output: [5,6,7,1,2,3,4] Explanation: rotate 1 steps to the right: [7,1,2,3,4,5,6] rotate 2 steps to the right: [6,7,1,2,3,4,5] rotate 3 steps to the right: [5,6,7,1,2,3,4]

Example 2:

Input: [-1,-100,3,99] and k = 2 Output: [3,99,-1,-100] Explanation: rotate 1 steps to the right: [99,-1,-100,3] rotate 2 steps to the right: [3,99,-1,-100]

Note:

• Try to come up as many solutions as you can, there are at least 3 different ways to solve this problem.
• Could you do it in-place with O(1) extra space?

Solutions

class Solution {
 public:
  void rotate(vector<int>& nums, int k) {
    vector<int> temp = nums;
    for (int i = 0; i < nums.size(); ++i) {
      nums[(i + k) % nums.size()] = temp[i];
    }
  }
};
