下面是PHP的递归方法:

$m = array();
            $m[0] = array('a', 'b', 'c');
            $m[1] = array('d', 'e', 'f');
            $m[2] = array('g', 'h', 'i');
            $newMatrix = array();

            function rotateMatrix($m, $i = 0, &$newMatrix)
            {
                foreach ($m as $chunk) {
                    $newChunk[] = $chunk[$i];
                }
                $newMatrix[] = array_reverse($newChunk);
                $i++;

                if ($i < count($m)) {
                    rotateMatrix($m, $i, $newMatrix);
                }
            }

            rotateMatrix($m, 0, $newMatrix);
            echo '<pre>';
            var_dump($newMatrix);
            echo '<pre>';

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;
    }
}

下面是PHP的递归方法:

$m = array();
            $m[0] = array('a', 'b', 'c');
            $m[1] = array('d', 'e', 'f');
            $m[2] = array('g', 'h', 'i');
            $newMatrix = array();

            function rotateMatrix($m, $i = 0, &$newMatrix)
            {
                foreach ($m as $chunk) {
                    $newChunk[] = $chunk[$i];
                }
                $newMatrix[] = array_reverse($newChunk);
                $i++;

                if ($i < count($m)) {
                    rotateMatrix($m, $i, $newMatrix);
                }
            }

            rotateMatrix($m, 0, $newMatrix);
            echo '<pre>';
            var_dump($newMatrix);
            echo '<pre>';

我只用一个循环就能做到。时间复杂度看起来像O(K)其中K是数组中的所有元素。 下面是我用JavaScript做的:

首先，我们用一个数组来表示n^2矩阵。然后，像这样迭代它:

/**
 * Rotates matrix 90 degrees clockwise
 * @param arr: the source array
 * @param n: the array side (array is square n^2)
 */
function rotate (arr, n) {
  var rotated = [], indexes = []

  for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
    if (i < n)
      indexes[i] = i * n + (n - 1)
    else
      indexes[i] = indexes[i - n] - 1

    rotated[indexes[i]] = arr[i]
  }
  return rotated
}

基本上，我们转换源数组下标:

[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8] => [2,5,8,1,4,7,0,3 6]

然后，使用这个转换后的索引数组，我们将实际值放在最终旋转的数组中。

下面是一些测试用例:

//n=3
rotate([
  1, 2, 3,
  4, 5, 6,
  7, 8, 9], 3))

//result:
[7, 4, 1,
 8, 5, 2,
 9, 6, 3]


//n=4
rotate([
  1,  2,  3,  4,
  5,  6,  7,  8,
  9,  10, 11, 12,
  13, 14, 15, 16], 4))

//result:
[13,  9,  5,  1,
 14, 10,  6,  2,
 15, 11,  7,  3,
 16, 12,  8,  4]


//n=5
rotate([
  1,  2,  3,  4,  5,
  6,  7,  8,  9,  10,
  11, 12, 13, 14, 15,
  16, 17, 18, 19, 20,
  21, 22, 23, 24, 25], 5))

//result:
[21, 16, 11,  6,  1, 
 22, 17, 12,  7,  2, 
 23, 18, 13,  8,  3, 
 24, 19, 14,  9,  4, 
 25, 20, 15, 10,  5]

下面是Java语言:

public static void rotateInPlace(int[][] m) {
    for(int layer = 0; layer < m.length/2; layer++){
        int first = layer;
        int last = m.length - 1 - first;
        for(int i = first; i < last; i ++){
            int offset = i - first;
            int top = m[first][i];
            m[first][i] = m[last - offset][first];
            m[last - offset][first] = m[last][last - offset];
            m[last][last - offset] = m[i][last];
            m[i][last] = top;
        }
    }
}

short normal[4][4] = {{8,4,7,5},{3,4,5,7},{9,5,5,6},{3,3,3,3}};

short rotated[4][4];

for (int r = 0; r < 4; ++r)
{
  for (int c = 0; c < 4; ++c)
  {
    rotated[r][c] = normal[c][3-r];
  }
}

简单的c++方法，尽管在大数组中会有很大的内存开销。
