/*: | |
## Given an array, rotate the array to the right by k steps, where k is non-negative. | |
``` | |
Example 1: | |
Input: [1,2,3,4,5,6,7] and k = 3 | |
Output: [5,6,7,1,2,3,4] | |
Explanation: | |
rotate 1 steps to the right: [7,1,2,3,4,5,6] | |
rotate 2 steps to the right: [6,7,1,2,3,4,5] | |
rotate 3 steps to the right: [5,6,7,1,2,3,4] | |
``` | |
``` | |
Example 2: | |
Input: [-1,-100,3,99] and k = 2 | |
Output: [3,99,-1,-100] | |
Explanation: | |
rotate 1 steps to the right: [99,-1,-100,3] | |
rotate 2 steps to the right: [3,99,-1,-100] | |
``` | |
