Solving Rotate Array Problem Optimally

1. *Problem Description*

Given an integer array `nums`, rotate the array to the right by `k` steps.

2. *Optimal Approach*

Reverse the entire array.
Reverse the array from index 0 to `k-1`.
Reverse the array from index `k` to `n-1`.

3. *Implementation Steps*

Initialize `N` as the length of the `nums` array.
Create a `reverse` function to reverse elements in an array from a start position to an end position.
Use a while loop to swap elements from start to end positions to reverse the array.
Consider edge scenarios like taking modulo to handle cases where `k` is greater than the length of the array.
Implement the three-step process of reversing the array as described above.
Run the code and ensure it passes all test cases.

4. *Conclusion*

By following these steps, the array rotation problem can be solved optimally by swapping elements in the array.
