Write a function rotate(arr[], d, n) that rotates arr[] of size n by d elements.
Rotation of the above array by 2 will make an array
Algorithm :
Initialize A = arr[0..d-1] and B = arr[d..n-1] 1) Do following until size of A is equal to size of B a) If A is shorter, divide B into Bl and Br such that Br is of same length as A. Swap A and Br to change ABlBr into BrBlA. Now A is at its final place, so recur on pieces of B. b) If A is longer, divide A into Al and Ar such that Al is of same length as B Swap Al and B to change AlArB into BArAl. Now B is at its final place, so recur on pieces of A. 2) Finally when A and B are of equal size, block swap them.
