原地旋转不可能比O(n²)更快，原因是如果我们想旋转矩阵，我们必须至少一次触及所有n²元素，无论你实现什么算法。

Nick的答案也适用于NxM阵列，只需要做一点修改(与NxN相反)。

string[,] orig = new string[n, m];
string[,] rot = new string[m, n];

...

for ( int i=0; i < n; i++ )
  for ( int j=0; j < m; j++ )
    rot[j, n - i - 1] = orig[i, j];

考虑这个问题的一种方法是将轴(0,0)的中心从左上角移动到右上角。你只是简单地从一个转置到另一个。

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;
        }
    }
}

Python:

rotated = list(zip(*original[::-1]))

和逆时针方向:

rotated_ccw = list(zip(*original))[::-1]

这是如何工作的:

Zip (*original)将通过将列表中的对应项堆叠到新的列表中来交换2d数组的轴。(*操作符告诉函数将包含的列表分布到参数中)

>>> list(zip(*[[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]]))
[[1,4,7],[2,5,8],[3,6,9]]

语句[::-1]反转数组元素(请参阅扩展切片或这个问题):

>>> [[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]][::-1]
[[7,8,9],[4,5,6],[1,2,3]]

最后，将两者结合就得到了旋转变换。

改变[::-1]的位置将使列表在矩阵的不同层次上颠倒。

很好的答案，但对于那些正在寻找DRY JavaScript代码的人- +90度和-90度:

// Input: 1 2 3 // 4 5 6 // 7 8 9 // Transpose: // 1 4 7 // 2 5 8 // 3 6 9 // Output: // +90 Degree: // 7 4 1 // 8 5 2 // 9 6 3 // -90 Degree: // 3 6 9 // 2 5 8 // 1 4 7 // Rotate +90 function rotate90(matrix) { matrix = transpose(matrix); matrix.map(function(array) { array.reverse(); }); return matrix; } // Rotate -90 function counterRotate90(matrix) { var result = createEmptyMatrix(matrix.length); matrix = transpose(matrix); var counter = 0; for (var i = matrix.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) { result[counter] = matrix[i]; counter++; } return result; } // Create empty matrix function createEmptyMatrix(len) { var result = new Array(); for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) { result.push([]); } return result; } // Transpose the matrix function transpose(matrix) { // make empty array var len = matrix.length; var result = createEmptyMatrix(len); for (var i = 0; i < matrix.length; i++) { for (var j = 0; j < matrix[i].length; j++) { var temp = matrix[i][j]; result[j][i] = temp; } } return result; } // Test Cases var array1 = [ [1, 2], [3, 4] ]; var array2 = [ [1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9] ]; var array3 = [ [1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7, 8], [9, 10, 11, 12], [13, 14, 15, 16] ]; // +90 degress Rotation Tests var test1 = rotate90(array1); var test2 = rotate90(array2); var test3 = rotate90(array3); console.log(test1); console.log(test2); console.log(test3); // -90 degress Rotation Tests var test1 = counterRotate90(array1); var test2 = counterRotate90(array2); var test3 = counterRotate90(array3); console.log(test1); console.log(test2); console.log(test3);

    public static void rotateMatrix(int[,] matrix)
    {
        //C#, to rotate an N*N matrix in place
        int n = matrix.GetLength(0);
        int layers =  n / 2;
        int temp, temp2;

        for (int i = 0; i < layers; i++) // for a 5 * 5 matrix, layers will be 2, since at layer three there would be only one element, (2,2), and we do not need to rotate it with itself 
        {
            int offset = 0;
            while (offset < n - 2 * i - 1)
            {
                // top right <- top left 
                temp = matrix[i + offset, n - i - 1]; //top right value when offset is zero
                matrix[i + offset, n - i - 1] = matrix[i, i + offset];   

                //bottom right <- top right 
                temp2 = matrix[n - i - 1, n - i - 1 - offset]; //bottom right value when offset is zero
                matrix[n - i - 1, n - i - 1 - offset] = temp;  

                //bottom left <- bottom right 
                temp = matrix[n - i - 1 - offset, i];
                matrix[n - i - 1 - offset, i] = temp2;  

                //top left <- bottom left 
                matrix[i, i + offset] = temp; 

                offset++;
            }
        }
    }
