Javascript Program for Reversal algorithm for array rotation
Write a function rotate(arr[], d, n) that rotates arr[] of size n by d elements.
Example :
Input : arr[] = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7] d = 2 Output : arr[] = [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 1, 2]
Rotation of the above array by 2 will make array
The first 3 methods to rotate an array by d elements has been discussed in this post.
Method 4 (The Reversal Algorithm) :
Algorithm :
rotate(arr[], d, n) reverse(arr[], 1, d) ; reverse(arr[], d + 1, n); reverse(arr[], 1, n);
Let AB are the two parts of the input array where A = arr[0..d-1] and B = arr[d..n-1]. The idea of the algorithm is :
- Reverse A to get ArB, where Ar is reverse of A.
- Reverse B to get ArBr, where Br is reverse of B.
- Reverse all to get (ArBr) r = BA.
Example :
Let the array be arr[] = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7], d =2 and n = 7
A = [1, 2] and B = [3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
- Reverse A, we get ArB = [2, 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
- Reverse B, we get ArBr = [2, 1, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3]
- Reverse all, we get (ArBr)r = [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 1, 2]
Below is the implementation of the above approach :
Javascript
<script> // JavaScript program for reversal algorithm // of array rotation /*Function to reverse arr[] from index start to end*/ function reverseArray(arr, start, end) { while (start < end) { var temp = arr[start]; arr[start] = arr[end]; arr[end] = temp; start++; end--; } } /* Function to left rotate arr[] of size n by d */ function leftRotate(arr, d, n) { if (d == 0) return ; // in case the rotating factor is // greater than array length d = d % n; reverseArray(arr, 0, d - 1); reverseArray(arr, d, n - 1); reverseArray(arr, 0, n - 1); } // Function to print an array function printArray(arr, size) { for ( var i = 0; i < size; i++) document.write(arr[i] + " " ); } /* Driver program to test above functions */ var arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]; var n = arr.length; var d = 2; // Function calling leftRotate(arr, d, n); printArray(arr, n); // This code is contributed by rdtank. </script> |
Output :
3 4 5 6 7 1 2
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.
