Problem statement:

Given a matrix, your task is to rotate the matrix by 90 degrees.

(Rotate the image in-place, which means you have to modify the input 2D matrix directly. DO NOT allocate another 2D matrix and do the rotation.)

Input Format:

Matrix representing an image of n*n dimension

Output Format:

Matrix representing the rotated image by 90 degree clockwise

Sample Input 1:

[[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]]

Sample Output 1:

[[7,4,1],[8,5,2],[9,6,3]]

Sample Input 2:

[[5,1,9,11],[2,4,8,10],[13,3,6,7],[15,14,12,16]]

Sample Output 2:

[[15,13,2,5],[14,3,4,1],[12,6,8,9],[16,7,10,11]]

Approach:

Take another dummy matrix of n*n, and then take the first row of the matrix and put it in the last column of the dummy matrix, take the second row of the matrix, and put it in the second last column of the matrix and so.

Time Complexity: O(n²)

Space Complexity: O(n²)
