48. Rotate Image

You are given an n x n 2D matrix representing an image.

Rotate the image by 90 degrees (clockwise).

Note:

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:

Given input matrix = 
[
  [1,2,3],
  [4,5,6],
  [7,8,9]
],

rotate the input matrix in-place such that it becomes:
[
  [7,4,1],
  [8,5,2],
  [9,6,3]
]

hint:

/*
 * clockwise rotate
 * first reverse up to down, then swap the symmetry
 * 1 2 3     7 8 9     7 4 1
 * 4 5 6  => 4 5 6  => 8 5 2
 * 7 8 9     1 2 3     9 6 3*/

/*
 * anticlockwise rotate
 * first reverse left to right, then swap the symmetry
 * 1 2 3     3 2 1     3 6 9
 * 4 5 6  => 6 5 4  => 2 5 8
 * 7 8 9     9 8 7     1 4 7
*/

Answer:

class Solution {
public:
    void rotate(vector<vector<int>>& matrix) {
        reverse(matrix.begin(), matrix.end());
        for(int i = 0; i < matrix.size(); i++){
            for(int j = 0; j < i; j++){
                swap(matrix[i][j], matrix[j][i]);
            }
        }       
    }
};
