A void function called rotate takes three integers and rotates them in a counter-clockwise
direction. That is, the third integer is moved to the second place, the second to the first place, and
the first to the last place (i.e., third place). For example, if integer variables number1, number2,
and number3 have values 10, 20, and 30, respectively, then their values will become 20, 30, and
10, respectively, after executing the function call rotate(number1, number2, number3).
Give the complete function definition for rotate. There is no need for you to write the main
function and other code.
