⭐ Must Read: web//https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/split array add first part end

There is a given an array and split it from a specified position, and move the first part of array add to the end.
Split the array and add the first part to the end

Examples:

Input : arr[] = {12, 10, 5, 6, 52, 36}
            k = 2
Output : arr[] = {5, 6, 52, 36, 12, 10}
Explanation : Split from index 2 and first 
part {12, 10} add to the end .

Input : arr[] = {3, 1, 2}
           k = 1
Output : arr[] = {1, 2, 3}
Explanation : Split from index 1 and first
part add to the end.

Recommended: Please try your approach on {IDE} first, before moving on to the solution.

Simple Solution
We one by one rotate array.

C++

// CPP program to split array and move first 
// part to end. 
#include <bits/stdc++.h> 
using namespace std; 
  
void splitArr(int arr[], int n, int k) 
{ 
    for (int i = 0; i < k; i++) { 
  
        // Rotate array by 1. 
        int x = arr[0]; 
        for (int j = 0; j < n - 1; ++j) 
            arr[j] = arr[j + 1]; 
        arr[n - 1] = x; 
    } 
} 
  
// Driver code 
int main() 
{ 
    int arr[] = { 12, 10, 5, 6, 52, 36 }; 
    int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]); 
    int position = 2; 
  
    splitArr(arr, 6, position); 
  
    for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) 
        printf("%d ", arr[i]); 
  
    return 0; 
} 

Java

// Java program to split array and move first 
// part to end. 
  
import java.util.*; 
import java.lang.*; 
class GFG { 
    public static void splitArr(int arr[], int n, int k) 
    { 
        for (int i = 0; i < k; i++) { 
  
            // Rotate array by 1. 
            int x = arr[0]; 
            for (int j = 0; j < n - 1; ++j) 
                arr[j] = arr[j + 1]; 
            arr[n - 1] = x; 
        } 
    } 
  
    // Driver code 
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    { 
        int arr[] = { 12, 10, 5, 6, 52, 36 }; 
        int n = arr.length; 
        int position = 2; 
  
        splitArr(arr, 6, position); 
  
        for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) 
            System.out.print(arr[i] + " "); 
    } 
}

Output:

5 6 52 36 12 10

Time complexity of above solution is O(nk).
Another approach: An another approach is to make a temporary array with double the size and copy our array element in to new array twice .and then copy element from new array to our array by taking the rotation as starting index upto the length of our array.

Below is the implementation of above approach.

C++

// CPP program to split array and move first 
// part to end. 
#include <bits/stdc++.h> 
using namespace std; 
  
// Function to spilt array and  
// move first part to end  
void splitArr(int arr[], int length, int rotation) 
{ 
    int tmp[length * 2] = {0}; 
  
    for(int i = 0; i < length; i++) 
    { 
        tmp[i] = arr[i]; 
        tmp[i + length] = arr[i]; 
    } 
  
    for(int i = rotation; i < rotation + length; i++) 
    { 
        arr[i - rotation] = tmp[i]; 
    } 
} 
  
// Driver code 
int main() 
{ 
    int arr[] = { 12, 10, 5, 6, 52, 36 }; 
    int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]); 
    int position = 2; 
  
    splitArr(arr, n, position); 
  
    for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) 
        printf("%d ", arr[i]); 
  
    return 0; 
}

An efficient O(n) solution is discussed the following post: Split the array and add the first part to the end | Set 2

This problem is noting but array rotation problem and we can apply optimized O(n) array rotation methods here.
