Python program to rotate an array towards its left
Inplace Method
# Rotate Array
def roateLeft(arr, size, rotate_count):
array_length = len(arr)
if array_length <= 0:
return arr
if size > array_length:
size = array_length
# Figure out effective roation count
# eg: size = 10 and rotation_count = 15
# effective roation_count is 5
if rotate_count > size:
rotate_count = rotate_count - size
print ("Array Length: %d" %array_length)
print ("Array Size to consider: %d" %size)
print ("Effective Rotation Count: %d" %rotate_count)
while rotate_count > 0:
rotate_count -= 1
shiftLeft(arr, size)
# Shift One Element
def shiftLeft(arr, size):
array_length = len(arr)
# return if array is empty
if array_length <= 0:
return
# Check and use the size passed in
if size < array_length:
array_length = size
firstItem = arr[0]
for index in range (array_length - 1):
arr[index] = arr[index + 1]
arr[array_length - 1] = firstItem
# Tests
input_array = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]

print ("Output", input_array)
print ("")

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