【LeetCode】Rotate Array

Rotate Array

Rotate an array of n elements to the right by k steps.

For example, with n = 7 and k = 3, the array [1,2,3,4,5,6,7] is rotated to [5,6,7,1,2,3,4].

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

AC代码：（Python）

 class Solution:
     # @param nums, a list of integer
     # @param k, num of steps
     # @return nothing, please modify the nums list in-place.
     def rotate(self, nums, k):
         n = len(nums)
         k = k % n
         nums[:] = nums[n-k:] + nums[:n-k]
         

要注意一个问题：

A little important thing to be cautious:

nums[:] = nums[n-k:] + nums[:n-k]

can't be written as:

nums = nums[n-k:] + nums[:n-k]

on the OJ.

The previous one can truly change the value of old nums, but the following one just changes its reference to a new nums not the value of old nums.

因为题目要求的是：

@return nothing, please modify the nums list in-place.
 
类似的还有：

 def purify(lsst):
     lst = lsst[:]
     for num in lsst:
         if num % 2 == 1:
             lst.remove(num)
     return lst

这是清除 list 中的奇数，要求不要在原输入上直接修改。

注意第二行不能 写成：

lst = lsst
 
而应该是：

lst = lsst[:]
 
这样才是值相同的两个list, 否则 lst = lsst 只是一个 list 的两个引用。
 
值 和 引用 的问题当属 Python 里的第一大坑。
