0189. Rotate Array

Description

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

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7], 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: nums = [-1,-100,3,99], 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]

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 105
  • -231 <= nums[i] <= 231 - 1
  • 0 <= k <= 105

 

Follow up:

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

Solutions

Solution 1: Reverse three times

We can assume the length of the array is n and calculate the actual number of steps needed by taking the module of k and n, which is k \bmod n.

Next, let us reverse three times to get the final result:

  1. Reverse the entire array.
  2. Reverse the first k elements.
  3. Reverse the last n - k elements.

For example, for the array [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7], k = 3, n = 7, k \bmod n = 3.

  1. In the first reverse, reverse the entire array. We get [7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1].
  2. In the second reverse, reverse the first k elements. We get [5, 6, 7, 4, 3, 2, 1].
  3. In the third reverse, reverse the last n - k elements. We get [5, 6, 7, 1, 2, 3, 4], which is the final result.

The time complexity is O(n), where n is the length of the array. The space complexity is O(1).
