java.util.Collections.rotate() method is present in java.util.Collections class. It is used to rotate the elements present in the specified list of Collection by a given distance.
Syntax:
public static void rotate(List< type > list, int distance)
Parameters :
list - the list to be rotated.
distance - the distance to rotate the list.
type - Type of list to be rotated. Examples of
types are Integer, String, etc.
Returns :
NA
Throws:
UnsupportedOperationException - if the specified list or
its list-iterator does not support the set operation.
There are no constraints on distance value. It may be zero, negative, or greater than list.size(). After calling this method, the element at index i will be the element previously at index (i - distance) mod list.size(), for all values of i between 0 and list.size()-1, inclusive.
