Python3 Program to Split the array and add the first part to the end | Set 2

Given an array and split it from a specified position, and move the first part of array add 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.

 

A O(n*k) solution is discussed here
This problem can be solved in O(n) time using the reversal algorithm discussed below, 
1. Reverse array from 0 to n – 1 (where n is size of the array). 
2. Reverse array from 0 to n – k – 1. 
3. Reverse array from n – k to n – 1.
 

Python3




# Python3 program to Split the array
# and add the first part to the end 
  
# Function to reverse arr[] 
# from index start to end*/
def rvereseArray(arr, start, end):
    while start < end :
        temp = arr[start]
        arr[start] = arr[end]
        arr[end] =temp
        start += 1
        end -= 1
  
# Function to print an array 
def printArray(arr, n) :
    for i in range(n):
        print(arr[i], end = " ")
  
  
# Function to left rotate
# arr[] of size n by k */
def splitArr(arr, k, n):
    rvereseArray(arr, 0, n - 1)
    rvereseArray(arr, 0, n - k - 1)
    rvereseArray(arr, n - k, n - 1)
  
# Driver Code
arr = [12, 10, 5, 6, 52, 36]
n = len(arr)
k = 2
splitArr(arr, k, n)
printArray(arr, n)

Output: 
 

5 6 52 36 12 10
