[LeetCode 189] Rotate Array

Problem

Given an array, rotate the array to the right by k steps, where k is non-negative.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7], k = 3
Output: [5,6,7,1,2,3,4]
Explanation:
rotate 1 steps to the right: [7,1,2,3,4,5,6]
rotate 2 steps to the right: [6,7,1,2,3,4,5]
rotate 3 steps to the right: [5,6,7,1,2,3,4]

Example 2:

Input: nums = [-1,-100,3,99], k = 2
Output: [3,99,-1,-100]
Explanation: 
rotate 1 steps to the right: [99,-1,-100,3]
rotate 2 steps to the right: [3,99,-1,-100]

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 10^5
  • -2^31 <= nums[i] <= 2^31 - 1
  • 0 <= k <= 10^5

Thoughts

  • We need move numbers at back to the front
  • There should be some nice methods we can use in JavaScript

TypeScript

/**
 Do not return anything, modify nums in-place instead.
 */
function rotate(nums: number[], k: number): void {
    nums.unshift(...nums.splice(-(k % nums.length)));
};
