Rotate Array
Rotate an array of n elements to the right by k steps.
For example, with n = 7 and k = 3, the array
[1,2,3,4,5,6,7]is rotated to[5,6,7,1,2,3,4].Note:

Could you do it in-place with O(1) extra space?Related problem: Reverse Words in a String II

Easy question, but ask the interviewer what we should do if k is bigger than nums.size()
//What if k is bigger than n?
class Solution {
public:
void rotate(vector<int>& nums, int k) {
//extreme case
if(nums.size() == 0 || k == 0) return ;
k = k % nums.size();//k may be 0
for(int i = 0; i < k; i++){
nums.insert(nums.begin(), nums.back());
nums.pop_back();
}
}
};
Another approach
class Solution {
public:
void rotate(vector<int>& nums, int k) {
if(k == 0 || nums.size() == 0)
return;
k %= nums.size();
int len = nums.size();
vector<int> ans;
ans = vector<int>(nums.end() - k, nums.end());
for(size_t i = 0; i < len - k; i++){
ans.push_back(nums[i]);
}
nums = ans;
}
};
