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
}

在python中:

import numpy as np

a = np.array(
    [
        [1, 2, 3, 4],
        [5, 6, 7, 8],
        [9, 0, 1, 2],
        [3, 4, 5, 6]
    ]
)

print(a)
print(b[::-1, :].T)

一些人已经举了一些例子，其中涉及到创建一个新数组。

还有一些需要考虑的事情:

(a)不实际移动数据，只需以不同的方式遍历“旋转”的数组。

(b)就地轮换可能有点棘手。您需要一点空白的地方(大概相当于一行或一列的大小)。有一篇古老的ACM论文是关于进行原地转置的(http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/355719.355729)，但是他们的示例代码是令人讨厌的充满goto的FORTRAN。

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。

private static int[][] rotate(int[][] matrix, int n) {
    int[][] rotated = new int[n][n];
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        for (int j = 0; j < n; j++) {
            rotated[i][j] = matrix[n-j-1][i];
        }
    }
    return rotated;
}

/* 90-degree clockwise:
   temp_array         = left_col
   left_col           = bottom_row
   bottom_row         = reverse(right_col)
   reverse(right_col) = reverse(top_row)
   reverse(top_row)   = temp_array
*/
void RotateClockwise90(int ** arr, int lo, int hi) {

  if (lo >= hi) 
    return;

  for (int i=lo; i<hi; i++) {
    int j = lo+hi-i;
    int temp   = arr[i][lo];
    arr[i][lo] = arr[hi][i];
    arr[hi][i] = arr[j][hi];
    arr[j][hi] = arr[lo][j];
    arr[lo][j] = temp;
  }

  RotateClockwise90(arr, lo+1, hi-1);
}
