48. Rotate Image

 

 

 

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 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;
            }
        }
    }
}
