Fastest algorithm for circle shift N sized array for M position

Question

What is the fastest algorithm for circle shifting array for M positions?
For example, [3 4 5 2 3 1 4] shift M = 2 positions should be [1 4 3 4 5 2 3

Answer 1

def shift(nelements, k):       
    result = []
    length = len(nelements)
    start = (length - k) % length
    for i in range(length):
        result.append(nelements[(start + i) % length])
    return result

This code works well even on negative shift k
