  1. Question: Why? Homework?
  2. Hint: for loop, offset, modulo, swap variable

i want a generic program...
like it should work for any give numbers.

What if the numbers are 3,4,5,6,7,8,9 ?
I do not see any pattern - you need to describe outputs.

Error Rotate an array

consider an example where an array elements are a[]={101,2,45,25,7}
the output should be { 25,7,101,2,45}
i think swapping, modulo, looping will not be the correct solution

So you want the array to behave like a closed loop when you move numbers to the left or right? In that case: for loop, offset, modulo, swap variable OR for loop, second array, modulo, return new array

what about maths?

the program should be easy since the only thing you have to do is a multiplication of your given array with a rotation matrix. the problem is the C program or the maths implementation and formulas?Anyway maths are good way to start learning programming.
