# Shift 2D Grid in C++

C++Server Side ProgrammingProgramming

Suppose we have one 2D grid of size m x n. We have another variable k. We have to shift the grid k times. The shift operation will be as follows

• Element at grid G[i, j] moves to G[i, j + 1]

• Element at grid G[i, n – 1] moves to G[i + 1, 0]

• Element at grid G[m - 1, n – 1] moves to G[0, 0]

So if the grid is like −

 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

The output will be −

 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

To solve this, we will follow these steps −

• The shift operation will take the matrix as input

• n = number of rows, m := number of columns, x := bottom right element

• for i := n – 1, down to 0

• for j := m – 1 down to 0

• if j = 0 and i > 0, then G[i, j] := G[i – 1, m - 1]

• else if j > 0, then G[i, j] := G[i, j – 1]

• G[0, 0] := x

• Call the shift operation by the following rule −

• while k is not 0

• shift the grid G

• decrease k by 1

• return grid G

## Example (C++)

Let us see the following implementation to get a better understanding −

Live Demo

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
void print_vector(vector<vector<int> > v){
cout << "[";
for(int i = 0; i<v.size(); i++){
cout << "[";
for(int j = 0; j <v[i].size(); j++){
cout << v[i][j] <<", ";
}
cout << "],";
}
cout << "]"<<endl;
}
class Solution {
public:
void shift(vector<vector<int>>& grid){
int n = grid.size();
int m = grid[0].size();
int x = grid[n-1][m-1];
for(int i = n-1; i>=0; i--){
for(int j = m-1;j>=0;j--){
if(j == 0 && i>0){
grid[i][j] = grid[i-1][m-1];
}
else if(j>0){
grid[i][j] = grid[i][j-1];
}
}
}
grid[0][0] = x;
}
vector<vector<int>> shiftGrid(vector<vector<int>>& g, int k) {
while(k--){
shift(g);
}
return g;
}
};
main(){
Solution ob;
vector<vector<int>> mat = {{1,2,3},{4,5,6},{7,8,9}};
print_vector(ob.shiftGrid(mat, 1));
}

## Input

{{1,2,3},{4,5,6},{7,8,9}}
1

## Output

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