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

Array

Rotation of the above array by 2 will make array

ArrayRotation1

Algorithm : 

Initialize A = arr[0..d-1] and B = arr[d..n-1]
1) Do following until size of A is equal to size of B

  a)  If A is shorter, divide B into Bl and Br such that Br is of same 
       length as A. Swap A and Br to change ABlBr into BrBlA. Now A
       is at its final place, so recur on pieces of B.  

   b)  If A is longer, divide A into Al and Ar such that Al is of same 
       length as B Swap Al and B to change AlArB into BArAl. Now B
       is at its final place, so recur on pieces of A.

2)  Finally when A and B are of equal size, block swap them.

Recursive Implementation:

Java




import java.util.*;
  
class GFG 
{
    // Wrapper over the recursive function leftRotateRec()
    // It left rotates arr[] by d.
    public static void leftRotate(int arr[], int d, 
                                                int n)
    {
        leftRotateRec(arr, 0, d, n);
    }
  
    public static void leftRotateRec(int arr[], int i, 
                                  int d, int n)
    {
        /* Return If number of elements to be rotated 
        is zero or equal to array size */
        if(d == 0 || d == n) 
            return
          
        /*If number of elements to be rotated 
        is exactly half of array size */
        if(n - d == d) 
        
            swap(arr, i, n - d + i, d); 
            return
        
          
        /* If A is shorter*/    
        if(d < n - d) 
        
            swap(arr, i, n - d + i, d); 
            leftRotateRec(arr, i, d, n - d);     
        
        else /* If B is shorter*/    
        
            swap(arr, i, d, n - d); 
            leftRotateRec(arr, n - d + i, 2 * d - n, d); /*This is tricky*/
        
    }
  
/*UTILITY FUNCTIONS*/
/* function to print an array */
public static void printArray(int arr[], int size) 
    int i; 
    for(i = 0; i < size; i++) 
        System.out.print(arr[i] + " "); 
    System.out.println(); 
  
/*This function swaps d elements 
starting at index fi with d elements
starting at index si */
public static void swap(int arr[], int fi,
                        int si, int d) 
    int i, temp; 
    for(i = 0; i < d; i++) 
    
        temp = arr[fi + i]; 
        arr[fi + i] = arr[si + i]; 
        arr[si + i] = temp; 
    
  
// Driver Code
public static void main (String[] args) 
{
    int arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}; 
    leftRotate(arr, 2, 7); 
    printArray(arr, 7);     
}
}
  
// This code is contributed by codeseeker


Output:

3 5 4 6 7 1 2

Time Complexity: O(N), where N represents the size of the given array.
Auxiliary Space: O(N) due to recursive stack space.

Iterative Implementation: 
Here is iterative implementation of the same algorithm. Same utility function swap() is used here.

Java




//Java code for above implementation
static void leftRotate(int arr[], int d, int n) 
int i, j; 
if(d == 0 || d == n) 
    return
i = d; 
j = n - d; 
while (i != j) 
    if(i < j) /*A is shorter*/
    
    swap(arr, d-i, d+j-i, i); 
    j -= i; 
    
    else /*B is shorter*/
    
    swap(arr, d-i, d, j); 
    i -= j; 
    
    // printArray(arr, 7); 
/*Finally, block swap A and B*/
swap(arr, d-i, d, i); 


Time Complexity: O(N), where N represents the size of the given array.
Auxiliary Space: O(1), no extra space is required, so it is a constant.
