Write a function rotate(ar[], d, n) that rotates arr[] of size n by d elements. 

Array


Rotation of the above array by 2 will make array

ArrayRotation1

Algorithm : 

Initialize A = arr[0..d-1] and B = arr[d..n-1]
1) Do following until size of A is equal to size of B

  a)  If A is shorter, divide B into Bl and Br such that Br is of same 
       length as A. Swap A and Br to change ABlBr into BrBlA. Now A
       is at its final place, so recur on pieces of B.  

   b)  If A is longer, divide A into Al and Ar such that Al is of same 
       length as B Swap Al and B to change AlArB into BArAl. Now B
       is at its final place, so recur on pieces of A.

2)  Finally when A and B are of equal size, block swap them.


Recursive Implementation:

Output:

3 5 4 6 7 1 2

Time Complexity: O(N), where N represents the size of the given array.
Auxiliary Space: O(N), due to recursive stack space.

Iterative Implementation: 
Here is iterative implementation of the same algorithm. Same utility function swap() is used here.

Time Complexity: O(N), where N represents the size of the given array.
Auxiliary Space: O(1), no extra space is required, so it is a constant.
