Rotate matrix 90 degrees












0












$begingroup$


I recently did problem 1.7 Rotate Matrix in cracking the coding interview. I realized my code is very different than what is in the book and what I am also fining online (I'm having trouble following the code in the book). I just want to know if the code I wrote would be appropriate in a interview setting or would I expect to write code like the solution in the book.



The problem states




Rotate Matrix: Given an image represented by an NxN matrix, where each
pixel in the image is 4 bytes, write a method to rotate the image by
90 degrees. Can you do this in place?




Here is my code:



def transpose(the_array):
res =
for i in range(len(the_array)):
transposed =
for col in the_array:
transposed.append(col[i])
transposed.reverse()
res.append(transposed)
return res

print(transpose([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]]))


Also, would the reverse method be ok to use in an interview?



I just realized my solution may not be considered in place.
