🚀Day 2. Rotate by 90 degree 🧠

The problem can be found at the following link: Problem Link

💡 Problem Description:

Given a square matrix mat[][] of size n x n, rotate it by 90 degrees in an anti-clockwise direction without using any extra space.

🔍 Example Walkthrough:

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

Input: mat[][] = [[1, 2], [3, 4]] Output: Rotated Matrix: [[2, 4], [1, 3]]

Constraints:

• $1 ≤ n ≤ 10^2$

• $0 ≤ mat[i][j] ≤ 10^3$

🎯 My Approach:

1. In-Place Transposition and Column Reversal:

   • The matrix can be rotated by performing two operations:

     1. Transpose the matrix: Swap mat[i][j] and mat[j][i] for all i, j where i < j.

     2. Reverse each column of the matrix: For each column, swap elements from the top and bottom.

2. Steps:

   • First, transpose the matrix to convert rows into columns.

   • Then, reverse each column to achieve the desired 90-degree rotation in anti-clockwise direction.

   • No extra space is used, and the operations are performed in-place.

🕒 Time and Auxiliary Space Complexity

• Expected Time Complexity: O(n²), where n is the size of the matrix. The algorithm involves transposing the matrix (O(n²) operations) and then reversing each column (O(n²) operations).

• Expected Auxiliary Space Complexity: O(1), as all operations are performed in-place, and no additional space is used.
