Rotate an array right by k element without using any other array



Given an array of n elements, write an algorithm to rotate it right by k element without using any other array. In other words rotate an array in place.
Array
Rotation of the above array by 2 will make array
ArrayRotation1
So the trick is to reverse the whole array first then reverse the array from 0 to k-1 and k to n-1.
void rotateRight(int[] a, int k){
 int length = a.length();//in C/C++ it will be given as input
 reverse(a, 0, length -1);//reverse whole array
 reverse(a, 0, k-1);//assuming 0 < k < length
 reverse(1, k, n-1);
}
void reverse(int[] a, int start, int end){
 while(start < end){
  swap(a, start, end);
  start++;
  end--;
 }
}
