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'},
                  {'I', 'W', 'R', 'Z'}
                };

        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);

    }

}

在JavaScript中实现dimple的+90伪代码(例如转置然后反转每一行):

function rotate90(a){
  // transpose from http://www.codesuck.com/2012/02/transpose-javascript-array-in-one-line.html
  a = Object.keys(a[0]).map(function (c) { return a.map(function (r) { return r[c]; }); });
  // row reverse
  for (i in a){
    a[i] = a[i].reverse();
  }
  return a;
}

为新手程序员，在纯c++。(宝蓝的东西)

#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>

int main()
{
    clrscr();

    int arr[10][10];        // 2d array that holds input elements 
    int result[10][10];     //holds result

    int m,n;                //rows and columns of arr[][]
    int x,y;                //rows and columns of result[][]

    int i,j;                //loop variables
    int t;                  //temporary , holds data while conversion

    cout<<"Enter no. of rows and columns of array: ";
    cin>>m>>n;
    cout<<"\nEnter elements of array: \n\n";
    for(i = 0; i < m; i++)
    {
        for(j = 0; j<n ; j++)
        {
          cin>>arr[i][j];         // input array elements from user
        }
    }


   //rotating matrix by +90 degrees

    x = n ;                      //for non-square matrix
    y = m ;     

    for(i = 0; i < x; i++)
    {  t = m-1;                     // to create required array bounds
       for(j = 0; j < y; j++)
       {
          result[i][j] = arr[t][i];
          t--;
       }
   }

   //print result

   cout<<"\nRotated matrix is: \n\n";
   for(i = 0; i < x; i++)
   {
       for(j = 0; j < y; j++)
       {
             cout<<result[i][j]<<" ";
       }
       cout<<"\n";
   }

   getch();
   return 0;
}

下面是Java版本:

public static void rightRotate(int[][] matrix, int n) {
    for (int layer = 0; layer < n / 2; layer++) {
        int first = layer;
        int last = n - 1 - first;
        for (int i = first; i < last; i++) {
           int offset = i - first;
           int temp = matrix[first][i];
           matrix[first][i] = matrix[last-offset][first];
           matrix[last-offset][first] = matrix[last][last-offset];
           matrix[last][last-offset] = matrix[i][last];
           matrix[i][last] = temp;
        }
    }
}

该方法首先旋转最外层，然后按顺序移动到内层。

这是c#的

int[,] array = new int[4,4] {
    { 1,2,3,4 },
    { 5,6,7,8 },
    { 9,0,1,2 },
    { 3,4,5,6 }
};

int[,] rotated = RotateMatrix(array, 4);

static int[,] RotateMatrix(int[,] matrix, int n) {
    int[,] ret = new int[n, n];

    for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
        for (int j = 0; j < n; ++j) {
            ret[i, j] = matrix[n - j - 1, i];
        }
    }

    return ret;
}

下面是我的Ruby版本(注意，值显示的不一样，但它仍然按照描述旋转)。

def rotate(matrix)
  result = []
  4.times { |x|
    result[x] = []
    4.times { |y|
      result[x][y] = matrix[y][3 - x]
    }
  }

  result
end

matrix = []
matrix[0] = [1,2,3,4]
matrix[1] = [5,6,7,8]
matrix[2] = [9,0,1,2]
matrix[3] = [3,4,5,6]

def print_matrix(matrix)
  4.times { |y|
    4.times { |x|
      print "#{matrix[x][y]} "
    }
    puts ""
  }
end

print_matrix(matrix)
puts ""
print_matrix(rotate(matrix))

输出:

1 5 9 3 
2 6 0 4 
3 7 1 5 
4 8 2 6 

4 3 2 1 
8 7 6 5 
2 1 0 9 
6 5 4 3
