Row-wise Shift of Matrix Elements using C++

Our task is to shift the elements of the matrix row-wise in C++ programming. That means, we shift the elements of the matrix row by row by a certain value and display the result.

We have the square matrix of size N*N, whose elements are to be shifted row-wise. And we have a shift_value, by which we shift the elements of the matrix, in each row.

A key point which has to be remembered here is: The matrix should be a square matrix always.

For example:

Input : matrix[N][N] = { {1, 2, 3},

{4, 5, 6},

{7, 8, 9} };

shift_value = 2

Output : 3 1 2

6 4 5

9 7 8

Input : matrix[N][N] = { {1, 2, 3, 4},

{5, 6, 7, 8},

{9, 10, 11, 12},

{13, 14, 15, 16}};

shift_value = 2

Output : 3 4 1 2

7 8 5 6

11 12 9 10

15 16 13 14

C++ code for Row-wise Shifting of elements in a matrix

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

#define N 4

//function to row wise shift elements of each row of the matrix
void shift_matrix_elements(int matrix[N][N], int shift_value)
{
    //variables used
    int i, j=0;

    //condition to check if shift value is greater then size
  if(shift_value>N)
    {
    cout<<"\nRow wise element shift is not possible.";
    cout<<"\nTry again with a lower number."<<endl;
    return;
  }

  //row wise shifting of elements
  cout<<"\nThe new row wise shifted matrix is: "<<endl;
  while(j<N)
    {

    //printing matrix elements from shift_value index
    for(i=shift_value ; i<N ; i++)
      cout<<matrix[j][i]<<" ";

    //printing elements before shift_value index
    for(i=0 ; i<shift_value ; i++)
      cout<<matrix[j][i]<<" ";

    cout<<endl;
    j++;
  }
}

//int main/driver code
int main()
{
    //variables used
    int i,j;

    //stores value by which row wise matrix elements are shifted
    int shift_value;

    //creating a 4*4 matrix to rotate
  int matrix[N][N]= { {1,   2,  3,  4},
              {5,   6,  7,  8},
              {9,  10, 11, 12},
                        {13, 14, 15, 16} };

    //print the original matrix
    cout<<"The matrix before the row-wise shift is:"<<endl;
    for(i=0 ; i<N ; i++)
    {
        for(j=0 ; j<N ; j++)
            cout<<matrix[i][j]<<" ";
        cout<<endl;
    }

    //taking the row wise shift value from the user
    cout<<"\nEnter the value the row-wise shift the matrix by: ";
    cin>>shift_value;

  //calling the function to row wise shift the matrix elements
  shift_matrix_elements(matrix, shift_value);

  return 0;
}

Output for Row-wise Shift

CASE 1 – when shift_value is greater than the size of the array

The matrix before the row-wise shift is:
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
9 10 11 12
13 14 15 16

Enter the value the row-wise shift the matrix by: 7

Row wise element shift is not possible.
Try again with a lower number.

CASE 2 – when shift_value is less than or equal to the size of the array

The matrix before the row-wise shift is:
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
9 10 11 12
13 14 15 16

Enter the value the row-wise shift the matrix by: 2

The new row wise shifted matrix is:
3 4 1 2
7 8 5 6
11 12 9 10
15 16 13 14

NOTE

The array has to be square.
The shift by a value equal to the size of the array results in the original array itself.
