To avoid inefficient use of memory, a new algorithm for the method rotate(N,A) is constructed.

The N × N two-dimensional array A should be rotated clockwise by 90°, without the use of any additional arrays.

One way of rotating the two-dimensional array A clockwise by 90° is to transpose A, and then reverse each row of A.

The transpose of A is formed by turning all the rows of A into columns. For example, the value in the first row and third column (A[1][3]) is swapped with the value in the third row and first column (A[3][1]).
