The idea was firstly transpose the matrix and then flip it symmetrically. For instance,
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
after transpose, it will be swap(matrix[i][j], matrix[j][i])
1 4 7
2 5 8
3 6 9
Then flip the matrix horizontally. (swap(matrix[i][j], matrix[i][matrix.length-1-j])
7 4 1
8 5 2
9 6 3
Hope this helps.
public class Solution {
public void rotate(int[][] matrix) {

for(int j = i; j<matrix[0].length; j++){
int temp = 0;
temp = matrix[i][j];
matrix[i][j] = matrix[j][i];
matrix[j][i] = temp;
}
}
for(int i =0 ; i<matrix.length; i++){
for(int j = 0; j<matrix.length/2; j++){
int temp = 0;
temp = matrix[i][j];
matrix[i][j] = matrix[i][matrix.length-1-j];
matrix[i][matrix.length-1-j] = temp;
}
}
}
