Matrix rotation Infosys springboard coding question with solution
Problem Statement :
Given a non empty array inarr consisting of integers seperated by ‘,'(comma), print the output based on the below logic:
- Form all possible largest square matrix / matrices m X m row wise from consecutive set of elements in inrr where m > 1
- From the formed matrices, find the sum of elements of left and right diagonals. Identify the square matrix which has atleast one of the diagionals sum as higest
- Perform cyclic shift of columns of the identified matrix n times to the right where n is the last integer in inarr. print the resultsnt rotated matrix.
Assume that inarr will have atleast 4 elements also last element of inarr will always be a positive non zero integer
Question :

Code Solution :
import math
M = 0
matrix = []
def rotateMatrix(k):
global M, matrix
temp = [0] * M
k = k % M
for i in range(0, M):
for t in range(0, M - k):
temp[t] = matrix[i][t]
for j in range(M - k, M):
matrix[i][j - M + k] = matrix[i][j]
for j in range(k, M):
matrix[i][j] = temp[j - k]
def solve(s):
global M, matrix
l = s.split(",")
for i in range(len(l)):
l[i] = int(l[i])
m = int(math.sqrt((len(l))))
size = m * m
start = 0
high = -1e6
for i in range(len(l) - size, -1, -1):
right = 0
left = 0
for j in range(0, m):
p = i + (m + 1) * j
right = right + l[p]
for j in range(1, m + 1):
p = i + (m - 1) * j
left = left + l[p]
if right >= high:
start = i
high = right
if left >= high:
start = i
high = left
ans = []
for i in range(0, m):
q = []
for j in range(0, m):
q.append(l[start])
start = start + 1
ans.append(q)
M = m
matrix = ans
rotateMatrix(l[len(l) - 1])
ans = []
for i in range(0, m):
for j in range(0, m):
if j==m-1:
print(matrix[i][j])
else:
print(matrix[i][j],end=" ")
s = input();
solve(s)
