# 0189. Rotate Array

<https://leetcode.com/problems/rotate-array>

## Description

Given an array, 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?

## ac1: extra space

```java
class Solution {
    public void rotate(int[] nums, int k) {
        // edge cases
        if (nums == null || nums.length <= 1) return;

        // init
        int len = nums.length;
        k = (k + len) % len;
        int[] tmp = new int[k];  // tmp array store k element

        int i =  len - 1, j = tmp.length - 1;
        // copy last k element to k array
        for ( ; i >= len - k; i--, j--) {
            tmp[j] = nums[i];
        }
        // move the rest in nums to the right
        int i2 = len - 1;
        for ( ; i >= 0; i--, i2--) {
            nums[i2] = nums[i];
        }
        // copy tmp back;
        i = 0;
        for (int j2 = 0; j2 < tmp.length; j2++, i++) {
            nums[i] = tmp[j2];
        }
    }
}
/*
O(n) time, O((k + len) % len) space

*/
```

## ac2: in-place

```java
class Solution {
    public void rotate(int[] nums, int k) {
        // edge cases
        if (nums == null || nums.length <= 1) return;

        k = (k + nums.length) % nums.length;

        // reverse entire array
        reverse(nums, 0, nums.length - 1);
        // reverse first k element
        reverse(nums, 0, k-1);
        // reverse the rest
        reverse(nums, k, nums.length - 1);

    }
    private void reverse(int[] nums, int s, int e) {
        // boudary check
        if (s >= e) return;

        while (s < e) {
            int tmp = nums[s];
            nums[s] = nums[e];
            nums[e] = tmp;
            s++;
            e--;
        }
    }
}
/*
O(n) time, O(1) space
*/
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://jaywin.gitbook.io/leetcode/solutions/0189-rotate-array.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
