I needed an easy way to rotate a string a set number of places for a lab I was setting up. This returns s rotated by distance spots and loops back around.

Rotate a string
private String rotateString(String s, int distance) {
String out = "";
for (int i=0; i<s.length(); i++) {
out += s.charAt((i + distance) % s.length());
}
return out;
}
