To rotate the matrix elements using c

To rotate the matrix elements using c

Question:

Write a c program to rotate the matrix elements for any length of matrix.

Logic:

  • Get the array elements from the user.
  • Then pick the second row first element.
  • And swap all elements in boundary sequentially to make rotation.
  • Then repeat the process for all other elements.
  • When we goes to middle of the matrix shows no rotation is left.
  • Al last we get rotated matrix.

Program:

[code lang=”c”]
#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
int a[20][20],r,c,i,j,cr,pr,m=0,n=0,x,y;
clrscr();
printf("enter the row size:");
scanf("%d",&r);
printf("enter the column size:");
scanf("%d",&c);
x=r;y=c;
printf("enter the elements:");
for(i=0;i<r;i++)
{
for(j=0;j<c;j++)
{
scanf("%d",&a[i][j]);
}
}
printf("Before rotation:\n");
for(i=0;i<x;i++)
{
for(j=0;j<y;j++)
{
printf("%d ",a[i][j]);
}
printf("\n");
}
while(r>m&&c>n)
{
if(m+1==r||n+1==c)//exits when no other rotation is available
{
break;
}
pr=a[m+1][n];//previous element to swap
for(i=m;i<c;i++)//rotates the top row
{
cr=a[m][i];
a[m][i]=pr;
pr=cr;
}
for(i=m+1;i<r;i++)//rotates the right column
{
cr=a[i][c-1];
a[i][c-1]=pr;
pr=cr;
}
for(i=c-2;i>=m;i–)//rotates the bottom row
{
cr=a[r-1][i];
a[r-1][i]=pr;
pr=cr;
}
for(i=r-2;i>m;i–)//rotates the left column
{
cr=a[i][n];
a[i][n]=pr;
pr=cr;
}
r–;c–;//decrements row and column for another rotation
m++;n++;
}
printf("After rotation:\n");
for(i=0;i<x;i++)
{
for(j=0;j<y;j++)
{
printf("%d ",a[i][j]);
}
printf("\n");
}
getch();
}
[/code]
