Rotate array clockwise

I have a two dimensional array that I need to rotate 90 degrees clockwise, however I keep getting arrayindexoutofbounds...

public int[][] rotateArray(int[][] arr) {
    // first change the dimensions vertical length
    // for horizontal length and vice versa
    int[][] newArray = new int[arr[0].length][arr.length];

    // invert values 90 degrees clockwise by starting
    // from button of array to top and from left to right
    int ii = 0;
    int jj = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < arr[0].length; i++) {
        for (int j = arr.length - 1; j >= 0; j--) {
            newArray[ii][jj] = arr[i][j];
            jj++;
        }
        ii++;
    }
    return newArray;
}

Here's a standard matrix clockwise rotation code:

static int[][] rotateCW(int[][] mat) {
    final int M = mat.length;
    final int N = mat[0].length;
    int[][] ret = new int[N][M];
    for (int r = 0; r < M; r++) {
        for (int c = 0; c < N; c++) {
            ret[c][M-1-r] = mat[r][c];
        }
    }
    return ret;
}

Note a few things:

• It improves readability to refer to the dimensions of a MxN matrix as M and N
• It's traditional to use r, c instead of i, j to index row and column of a matrix
• This is not the most robust implementation:
  • Does not ensure that mat is a valid MxN matrix, M>0, N>0
• Use an explicit mapping formula instead of extraneous local variables
  • Makes program less complex and more readable

Here's a test harness:

import java.util.Arrays;
//...

static void printMatrix(int[][] mat) {
    System.out.println("Matrix = ");
    for (int[] row : mat) {
        System.out.println(Arrays.toString(row));
    }
}
public static void main(String[] args){
    int[][] mat = {
        { 1, 2, 3 },
        { 4, 5, 6 }
    };
    printMatrix(mat);
    // Matrix = 
    // [1, 2, 3]
    // [4, 5, 6]

    int[][] matCW = rotateCW(mat);
    printMatrix(matCW);
    // Matrix = 
    // [4, 1]
    // [5, 2]
    // [6, 3]
}

Note the use of the for-each loop and java.util.Arrays in printMatrix. You should definitely familiarize yourself with them if you're working with arrays a lot in Java.

Links to Java matrix libraries

If you're working with matrices a lot, you may want to consider using a specialized matrix library instead.

Technically, Java has array of arrays. Make sure you understand all the implications.

I don't understand your loops' logic -- shouldn't it be

for (int i = 0; i < arr[0].length; i++) {
    for (int j = arr.length - 1; j >= 0; j--) {
        newArray[i][j] = arr[j][i];
    }
}

Net of whether each index goes up, like i here, or down, like j here (and of whether either or both need to be "flipped" in the assignment, e.g using arr.length-1-j in lieu of plain j on one side of the = in the assignment;-), since arr dimensions are arr.length by arr[0].length, and vice versa for newArray, it seems to me that the first index on arr (second on newArray) must be the one spanning the range from 0 to arr.length-1 included, and the other range for the other index.

This is a kind of "basic dimensional analysis" (except that "dimension" is used in a different sense than normally goes with "dimensional analysis" which refers to physical dimensions, i.e., time, mass, length, &c;-). The issue of "flipping" and having each loop go up or down depend on visualizing exactly what you mean and I'm not the greatest "mental visualizer" so I think, in real life, I'd try the various variants of this "axis transposition" until I hit the one that's meant;-).

jj++ is run i*j times, and that can't be good at all.

Try to reset jj in the outer loop.

Solution for generic objects:

public static <T> T[][] rotateArray90clockwise(Class<T> clas, T[][] array) {

    T[][] target = (T[][]) java.lang.reflect.Array.newInstance(
            clas, array[0].length, array.length);

    for (int i = 0; i < target.length; i++) {
        for (int j = 0; j < target[i].length; j++) {
            target[i][j] = array[(target[i].length - 1) - j][i];
        }
    }

    return target;
}

usage:

rotateArray90clockwise(Some.class,array);

static int[][] rotateClockwise(int[][] matrix) {
    int rowNum = matrix.length;
    int colNum = matrix[0].length;
    int[][] temp = new int[rowNum][colNum];

I completely understand that this question has nothing to do with Swift, but here's some verbose Swift 4:

    func clockwise(num:Int, square:[[Int]]) -> [[Int]] {
        var s = square
        if num == 0 {
            return s
        }
        for x in 0...(square.count - 1) {
            for y in 0...(square.count - 1) {
                s[x][y] = square[(square.count - 1) - y][x]
            }
        }
        return clockwise(num: num - 1, square: s)
    }
    func counterClockwise(num:Int, square:[[Int]]) -> [[Int]] {
        var s = square
        if num == 0 {
            return s
        }
        for x in 0...(square.count - 1) {
            for y in 0...(square.count - 1) {
                s[x][y] = square[y][(square.count - 1) - x]
            }
        }
        return counterClockwise(num: num - 1, square: s)
    }

This thread or whatever popped up when I searched for the question in Swift.

Steps to Rotate a matrix clockwise or Anti-Clockwise:

1. Take Transpose of Given Matrix
2. Swap columns vertical (if you want Clockwise Rotation) (OR)

Swap Columns Horizontal (if You want Anti-Clockwise Rotation)

Program For Clockwise Rotation:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class ClockWiseRotation {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int i, j, sw, n = 4;
        int a[][] = new int[6][6];
        int b[][] = new int[6][6];
        System.out.println("Enter the  elements for matrix\n");
        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
        for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {

            }
            System.out.println("\n");
        }
        for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {

            }
            System.out.println("\n");

Program For Anti-Clockwise Rotation

            }
            System.out.println("\n");
        }
    }
}

n = Number of rows or Number of Columns

Where We can change the n, The above are worked only for square Matrix

Tested and Worked Well
