rotate, C++ (gcc) - rextester

Language: Layout:

//g++  7.4.0

//write a function that rotates first n elements of array a , k positions to the right; the last k elements are rotated around to the beginning of array a;
//this code is created by Rezaul Hoque on June 16,2021; contact: jewelmrh@yahoo.com

a[n-k+i]=0;//having copied the elements staring from index k, fill them with 0; so a[n]={10,11,12,13,14,15,0,0};
