O(1)内存算法:

旋转最外层的数据，然后你可以得到以下结果: [3] [9] [5] [1] [4] [6] [7] [2] [5] [0] [1] [3] [6] [2] [8] [4]

做这个旋转，我们知道

    dest[j][n-1-i] = src[i][j]

观察下图: A (0,0) -> A (0,3) A (0,3) -> A (3,3) A (3,3) -> A (3,0) A (3,0) -> A (0,0)

因此它是一个圆，你可以在一个循环中旋转N个元素。做这个N-1循环，然后你可以旋转最外层的元素。

对于2X2，内部也是一样的问题。

因此，我们可以得出如下结论:

function rotate(array, N)
{
    Rotate outer-most data
    rotate a new array with N-2 or you can do the similar action following step1
}

顺时针或逆时针旋转2D数组的常用方法。

顺时针旋转 首先颠倒上下，然后交换对称 1 2 3 7 8 9 7 4 4 5 6 => 4 5 6 => 8 5 7 8 9 1 2 3 9 6 3

void rotate(vector<vector<int> > &matrix) {
    reverse(matrix.begin(), matrix.end());
    for (int i = 0; i < matrix.size(); ++i) {
        for (int j = i + 1; j < matrix[i].size(); ++j)
            swap(matrix[i][j], matrix[j][i]);
    }
}

逆时针方向旋转 首先从左到右反向，然后交换对称 1 2 3 3 2 1 3 6 9 4 5 6 => 6 5 4 => 2 5 7 8 9 9 8 7 1 4 7

void anti_rotate(vector<vector<int> > &matrix) {
    for (auto vi : matrix) reverse(vi.begin(), vi.end());
    for (int i = 0; i < matrix.size(); ++i) {
        for (int j = i + 1; j < matrix[i].size(); ++j)
            swap(matrix[i][j], matrix[j][i]);
    }
}

正如我在上一篇文章中所说的，这里有一些c#代码，可以为任何大小的矩阵实现O(1)矩阵旋转。为了简洁性和可读性，没有错误检查或范围检查。代码:

static void Main (string [] args)
{
  int [,]
    //  create an arbitrary matrix
    m = {{0, 1}, {2, 3}, {4, 5}};

  Matrix
    //  create wrappers for the data
    m1 = new Matrix (m),
    m2 = new Matrix (m),
    m3 = new Matrix (m);

  //  rotate the matricies in various ways - all are O(1)
  m1.RotateClockwise90 ();
  m2.Rotate180 ();
  m3.RotateAnitclockwise90 ();

  //  output the result of transforms
  System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine (m1.ToString ());
  System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine (m2.ToString ());
  System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine (m3.ToString ());
}

class Matrix
{
  enum Rotation
  {
    None,
    Clockwise90,
    Clockwise180,
    Clockwise270
  }

  public Matrix (int [,] matrix)
  {
    m_matrix = matrix;
    m_rotation = Rotation.None;
  }

  //  the transformation routines
  public void RotateClockwise90 ()
  {
    m_rotation = (Rotation) (((int) m_rotation + 1) & 3);
  }

  public void Rotate180 ()
  {
    m_rotation = (Rotation) (((int) m_rotation + 2) & 3);
  }

  public void RotateAnitclockwise90 ()
  {
    m_rotation = (Rotation) (((int) m_rotation + 3) & 3);
  }

  //  accessor property to make class look like a two dimensional array
  public int this [int row, int column]
  {
    get
    {
      int
        value = 0;

      switch (m_rotation)
      {
      case Rotation.None:
        value = m_matrix [row, column];
        break;

      case Rotation.Clockwise90:
        value = m_matrix [m_matrix.GetUpperBound (0) - column, row];
        break;

      case Rotation.Clockwise180:
        value = m_matrix [m_matrix.GetUpperBound (0) - row, m_matrix.GetUpperBound (1) - column];
        break;

      case Rotation.Clockwise270:
        value = m_matrix [column, m_matrix.GetUpperBound (1) - row];
        break;
      }

      return value;
    }

    set
    {
      switch (m_rotation)
      {
      case Rotation.None:
        m_matrix [row, column] = value;
        break;

      case Rotation.Clockwise90:
        m_matrix [m_matrix.GetUpperBound (0) - column, row] = value;
        break;

      case Rotation.Clockwise180:
        m_matrix [m_matrix.GetUpperBound (0) - row, m_matrix.GetUpperBound (1) - column] = value;
        break;

      case Rotation.Clockwise270:
        m_matrix [column, m_matrix.GetUpperBound (1) - row] = value;
        break;
      }
    }
  }

  //  creates a string with the matrix values
  public override string ToString ()
  {
    int
      num_rows = 0,
      num_columns = 0;

    switch (m_rotation)
    {
    case Rotation.None:
    case Rotation.Clockwise180:
      num_rows = m_matrix.GetUpperBound (0);
      num_columns = m_matrix.GetUpperBound (1);
      break;

    case Rotation.Clockwise90:
    case Rotation.Clockwise270:
      num_rows = m_matrix.GetUpperBound (1);
      num_columns = m_matrix.GetUpperBound (0);
      break;
    }

    StringBuilder
      output = new StringBuilder ();

    output.Append ("{");

    for (int row = 0 ; row <= num_rows ; ++row)
    {
      if (row != 0)
      {
        output.Append (", ");
      }

      output.Append ("{");

      for (int column = 0 ; column <= num_columns ; ++column)
      {
        if (column != 0)
        {
          output.Append (", ");
        }

        output.Append (this [row, column].ToString ());
      }

      output.Append ("}");
    }

    output.Append ("}");

    return output.ToString ();
  }

  int [,]
    //  the original matrix
    m_matrix;

  Rotation
    //  the current view of the matrix
    m_rotation;
}

好的，我把手举起来，当旋转时，它实际上不会对原始数组做任何修改。但是，在面向对象系统中，只要对象看起来像是被旋转到类的客户端，这就无关紧要了。目前，Matrix类使用对原始数组数据的引用，因此改变m1的任何值也将改变m2和m3。对构造函数稍加更改，创建一个新数组并将值复制到该数组中，就可以将其整理出来。

下面是一个c#静态泛型方法，它可以为您完成这项工作。变量的名称很好，所以您可以很容易地理解算法的思想。

private static T[,] Rotate180 <T> (T[,] matrix)
{
    var height = matrix.GetLength (0);
    var width = matrix.GetLength (1);
    var answer = new T[height, width];

    for (int y = 0; y < height / 2; y++)
    {
        int topY = y;
        int bottomY = height - 1 - y;
        for (int topX = 0; topX < width; topX++)
        {
            var bottomX = width - topX - 1;
            answer[topY, topX] = matrix[bottomY, bottomX];
            answer[bottomY, bottomX] = matrix[topY, topX];
        }
    }

    if (height % 2 == 0)
        return answer;

    var centerY = height / 2;
    for (int leftX = 0; leftX < Mathf.CeilToInt(width / 2f); leftX++)
    {
        var rightX = width - 1 - leftX;
        answer[centerY, leftX] = matrix[centerY, rightX];
        answer[centerY, rightX] = matrix[centerY, leftX];
    }

    return answer;
}

这是一个如今被高估的面试问题。

我的建议是:不要让面试官用他们关于解决这个问题的疯狂建议把你弄糊涂了。使用白板绘制输入数组的索引，然后绘制输出数组的索引。旋转前后的列分度示例如下:

30 --> 00
20 --> 01
10 --> 02
00 --> 03

31 --> 10
21 --> 11
11 --> 12
01 --> 13

注意旋转后的数字模式。

下面提供了一个简洁的Java解决方案。经过测试，它是有效的:

 Input:
    M A C P 
    B N L D 
    Y E T S 
    I W R Z 

    Output:
    I Y B M 
    W E N A 
    R T L C 
    Z S D P

package rotatearray;

public class RotateArrayNintyDegree {

    public char[][] rotateArrayNinetyDegree(char[][] input) {
        int k; // k is used to generate index for output array

        char[][] output = new char[input.length] [input[0].length];

        for (int i = 0; i < input.length; i++) {
            k = 0;
            for (int j = input.length-1; j >= 0; j--) {
                output[i][k] = input[j][i]; // note how i is used as column index, and j as row
                k++;
            }
        }

        return output;
    }

    public void printArray(char[][] charArray) {
        for (int i = 0; i < charArray.length; i++) {
            for (int j = 0; j < charArray[0].length; j++) {
                System.out.print(charArray[i][j] + " ");
            }
            System.out.println();
        }


    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        char[][] input = 
                { {'M', 'A', 'C', 'P'},
                  {'B', 'N', 'L', 'D'},
                  {'Y', 'E', 'T', 'S'},

        char[][] output = new char[input.length] [input[0].length];

        RotateArrayNintyDegree rotationObj = new RotateArrayNintyDegree();
        rotationObj.printArray(input);

        System.out.println("\n");
        output = rotationObj.rotateArrayNinetyDegree(input);
        rotationObj.printArray(output);

    }

}

下面是一个原地旋转的数组，而不是使用一个全新的数组来保存结果。我已经停止了数组的初始化和输出。这只适用于正方形数组，但它们可以是任何大小。内存开销等于数组中一个元素的大小，因此您可以对任意大的数组进行旋转。

int a[4][4];
int n = 4;
int tmp;
for (int i = 0; i < n / 2; i++)
{
    for (int j = i; j < n - i - 1; j++)
    {
        tmp             = a[i][j];
        a[i][j]         = a[j][n-i-1];
        a[j][n-i-1]     = a[n-i-1][n-j-1];
        a[n-i-1][n-j-1] = a[n-j-1][i];
        a[n-j-1][i]     = tmp;
    }
}
