Program for array rotation

Hello Everyone,

Question: Write a function rotate(ar[], d, n) that rotates arr[] of size n by d elements.

METHOD 1 (Using temp array)

Input arr[] = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7], d = 2, n =7 1) Store the first d elements in a temp array temp[] = [1, 2] 2) Shift rest of the arr[] arr[] = [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 6, 7] 3) Store back the d elements arr[] = [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 1, 2]

Time complexity : O(n)
Auxiliary Space : O(d)

METHOD 2 (Rotate one by one)

leftRotate(arr[], d, n) start For i = 0 to i < d Left rotate all elements of arr[] by one end

To rotate by one, store arr[0] in a temporary variable temp, move arr[1] to arr[0], arr[2] to arr[1] …and finally temp to arr[n-1]
Let us take the same example arr[] = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7], d = 2
Rotate arr[] by one 2 times
We get [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 1] after first rotation and [ 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 1, 2] after second rotation.
Below is the implementation of the above approach :

  • C++

// C++ program to rotate an array by

// d elements

#include <bits/stdc++.h>

using namespace std;

/*Function to left Rotate arr[] of

size n by 1*/

void leftRotatebyOne( int arr[], int n)

{

int temp = arr[0], i;

for (i = 0; i < n - 1; i++)

arr[i] = arr[i + 1];

arr[n-1] = temp;

}

/*Function to left rotate arr[] of size n by d*/

void leftRotate( int arr[], int d, int n)

{

for ( int i = 0; i < d; i++)

leftRotatebyOne(arr, n);

}

/* utility function to print an array */

void printArray( int arr[], int n)

{

for ( int i = 0; i < n; i++)

cout << arr[i] << " " ;

}

/* Driver program to test above functions */

int main()

{

int arr[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 };

int n = sizeof (arr) / sizeof (arr[0]);

// Function calling

leftRotate(arr, 2, n);

printArray(arr, n);

return 0;

}

Output :

3 4 5 6 7 1 2

Time complexity : O(n * d)
Auxiliary Space : O(1)

METHOD 3 (A Juggling Algorithm)
This is an extension of method 2. Instead of moving one by one, divide the array in different sets
where number of sets is equal to GCD of n and d and move the elements within sets.
If GCD is 1 as is for the above example array (n = 7 and d =2), then elements will be moved within one set only, we just start with temp = arr[0] and keep moving arr[I+d] to arr[I] and finally store temp at the right place.
Here is an example for n =12 and d = 3. GCD is 3 and

Let arr[] be {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12} a) Elements are first moved in first set.

arr[] after this step --> {4 2 3 7 5 6 10 8 9 1 11 12} b) Then in second set. arr[] after this step --> {4 5 3 7 8 6 10 11 9 1 2 12} c) Finally in third set. arr[] after this step --> {4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 1 2 3}

Below is the implementation of the above approach :

  • C++

// C++ program to rotate an array by

// d elements

#include <bits/stdc++.h>

using namespace std;

/*Fuction to get gcd of a and b*/

int gcd( int a, int b)

{

if (b == 0)

return a;

else

return gcd(b, a % b);

}

/*Function to left rotate arr[] of siz n by d*/

void leftRotate( int arr[], int d, int n)

{

/* To handle if d >= n */

d = d % n;

int g_c_d = gcd(d, n);

for ( int i = 0; i < g_c_d; i++) {

/* move i-th values of blocks */

int temp = arr[i];

int j = i;

while (1) {

int k = j + d;

if (k >= n)

k = k - n;

if (k == i)

break ;

arr[j] = arr[k];

j = k;

}

arr[j] = temp;

}

}

// Function to print an array

void printArray( int arr[], int size)

{

for ( int i = 0; i < size; i++)

cout << arr[i] << " " ;

}

/* Driver program to test above functions */

int main()

{

int arr[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 };

int n = sizeof (arr) / sizeof (arr[0]);

// Function calling

leftRotate(arr, 2, n);

printArray(arr, n);

return 0;

}

Output :

3 4 5 6 7 1 2

Time complexity : O(n)
Auxiliary Space : O(1)
