Given an array, right rotate it by k elements. 


After K=3 rotation 


Examples: 

Input: arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 
                6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
          k = 3
Output: 8 9 10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Input: arr[] = {121, 232, 33, 43 ,5}
           k = 2
Output: 43 5 121 232 33

Note : In the below solution, k is assumed to be smaller than or equal to n. We can easily modify the solutions to handle larger k values by doing k = k % n

Algorithm: 

rotate(arr[], d, n)
  reverse(arr[], 0, n-1) ;
  reverse(arr[], 0, d-1);
  reverse(arr[], d, n-1);

Below is the implementation of above approach: 

C++
Java Python3 C# PHP JavaScript

Output
8 9 10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 

Time Complexity: O(n), as we are using a while loop to traverse N times.
Auxiliary Space: O(1), as we are not using any extra space.
