rotateArray

rotateArray is a common problem in computer programming, where we are given an array of integers and we need to rotate its elements to the right by a given number of steps. Here is a step-by-step explanation of how to solve this problem in C++:

  1. First, we need to declare and define a function called "rotateArray" that takes two parameters: the array of integers and the number of steps to rotate.
  2. Inside the function, we need to calculate the length of the array using the sizeof() operator divided by the size of one element in the array. Let's call this length "n".
  3. Next, we need to handle the special case where the number of steps is greater than the length of the array. In this case, we can use the modulo operator (%) to reduce the number of steps to a value less than or equal to the length of the array. Let's call this reduced number of steps "k".
  4. We can create a new array of the same length as the original array using the "new" keyword. Let's call this new array "rotatedArray".
  5. We can then copy the last "k" elements from the original array to the beginning of the rotatedArray using a for loop. We start the loop from n-k and go up to n-1, and for each iteration, we copy the element from the original array to the corresponding position in the rotatedArray.
  6. Similarly, we can copy the remaining n-k elements from the original array to the rotatedArray using another for loop. We start the loop from 0 and go up to n-k-1, and for each iteration, we copy the element from the original array to the corresponding position in the rotatedArray.
  7. Finally, we can return the rotatedArray from the function.

That's it! With these steps, we have successfully rotated the given array to the right by the given number of steps in C++.
