Problem

You are given an n x n 2D matrix representing an image, rotate the image by 90 degrees (clockwise).

You have to rotate the image in-place, which means you have to modify the input 2D matrix directly. DO NOT allocate another 2D matrix and do the rotation.

https://leetcode.com/problems/rotate-image/

Example 1:

Input: matrix = [[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]]
Output: [[7,4,1],[8,5,2],[9,6,3]]

Example 2:

Input: matrix = [[5,1,9,11],[2,4,8,10],[13,3,6,7],[15,14,12,16]]
Output: [[15,13,2,5],[14,3,4,1],[12,6,8,9],[16,7,10,11]]

Constraints:

  • n == matrix.length == matrix[i].length
  • 1 <= n <= 20
  • -1000 <= matrix[i][j] <= 1000

Thoughts

从外到内一圈一圈处理。如果 n 是奇数,中心格子无需旋转。因此 0 <= i < n // 2

对于第 i 圈,依次处理 i 行的 i <= j < n - 1 -i 列,跟另外三条边的对应位置做轮换。

[i][j] 对应的其他三个位置分别为 [j][-i-1][-i-1][-j-1][-j-1][i]
