48. Rotate Image

Description

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.

 

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

Solutions

Solution 1: In-place Rotation

According to the problem requirements, we actually need to rotate $matrix[i][j]$ to $matrix[j][n - i - 1]$.

We can first flip the matrix upside down, that is, swap $matrix[i][j]$ and $matrix[n - i - 1][j]$, and then flip the matrix along the main diagonal, that is, swap $matrix[i][j]$ and $matrix[j][i]$. This way, we can rotate $matrix[i][j]$ to $matrix[j][n - i - 1]$.

The time complexity is $O(n^2)$, where $n$ is the side length of the matrix. The space complexity is $O(1)$.
