Given an array, rotate the array to the right by k steps, where k is non-negative.

Follow up:

• Try to come up as many solutions as you can, there are at least 3 different ways to solve this problem.

• Could you do it in-place with O(1) extra space?

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7], 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: nums = [-1,-100,3,99], 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]

Constraints:

• 1 <= nums.length <= 2 * 104

• -231 <= nums[i] <= 231 - 1

• 0 <= k <= 105

CODE SOLUTION :

class Solution {
public:
    void rotate(vector<int>& nums, int k) {
        int ans[nums.size()];
       
        for(int i=0; i<nums.size(); i++) {
            ans[(i+k)%nums.size()] = nums[i];
        }
        for(int i=0; i<nums.size(); i++) {
            nums[i] = ans[i];
        }
    }
};
