The problem

Given a 2D grid of size m x n and an integer k. You need to shift the grid k times.

Example

Input
grid = [[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]], k = 1
Output
[[9,1,2],[3,4,5],[6,7,8]]

Python solution

class Solution:
    def shiftGrid(self, grid: List[List[int]], k: int) -> List[List[int]]:
        m, n = len(grid), len(grid[0])
        ans = [[0] * n for _ in range(m)]
        for i, row in enumerate(grid):
            for j, v in enumerate(row):
                x, y = divmod((i * n + j + k) % (m * n), n)
                ans[x][y] = v
        return ans
