Rotate a Matrix 90 Degrees
core
Implement rotate90(a), rotating an n x n matrix 90 degrees clockwise in place: after the call, a[i][j] must hold the value that was at a[n-1-j][i] before the call.
The standard technique is transpose, then reverse each row; do both steps, not just one.
Example: a = {{1,2},{3,4}} transposes to {{1,3},{2,4}}, then reversing each row gives {{3,1},{4,2}}, the final, rotated matrix.
Input format: each test in tests/*.in is laid out as:
- Line 1:
n, the side length of the square matrix. - Next
nlines: one matrix row ofnvalues each.
Test 01.in reads:
1
5
This is a 1 x 1 matrix; rotating it changes nothing.
Where you'll use it:
- 48. Rotate Image
- 867. Transpose Matrix (the transpose half of the trick on its own)
