It's the far superior solution. Why shift all the elements in the array individually, when you can just shift the index to achieve the same result? It's a total waste of processing to shift the entire array. What if the array was 1,000,000,000 elements long, and you had to shift multiple times? In an interview they would probably expect you to do it this way, with an explanation of your logic.
In my case, they were expecting the function that returns a vector with all the elements rotated any number of times. So, the best way is to take the number of shiftings and move the index that number of times, and do the shift only one time.

I agree. If they wanted something to shift elements of an array, they should have asked for a function to do so.
