Given an integer N. The task is to generate a square matrix of ( n x n ) having the elements ranging from 1 to n^2 with the following condition:
- The elements of the matrix should be distinct i.e used only once
- Numbers ranging from 1 to n^2
- Every sub-matrix you choose should have the sum of opposite corner elements as even i.e sum of top left and bottom right should be even and the sum of top right and bottom left element should be even
This property should apply to all the submatrices of the matrix. You need to generate an Even Sub-Matrix
Examples:
Input: 2
Output: 1 2
4 3
Explanation: Here sum of 1+3=4 is even and 2+4=6 is evenInput: 4
Output: 1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
Explanation: The sub matrix [1 2 4 5], [2 3 5 6], [4 5 7 8], [5 6 8 9], [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9] satisfies the condition of opposite corner
elements having even sum
Approach:
As we know for any two elements sum to be even it can be Sum of ODD and ODD or Sum of EVEN and EVEN. In either of the two cases for the corner elements sum to be even we need to ensure that the diagonal pattern arranged elements should be either odd or even. So we make the 2d array having diagonals as all odds or all evens to find any submatrix having corner elements sum even. The below approach can be followed for the same.
- When n is odd the diagonals are already in all odd or even elements, so we need not modify and generate a simple 2d array
- When n is even the matrix generated does not satisfy the property having an even sum of opposite corner elements of the sub-matrices, so we reverse the alternate row elements so that diagonals of every submatrix are either all odd or all even.
Below is the implementation.
// C++ program for // the above approach #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std;
void sub_mat_even( int N)
{ // Counter to initialize
// the values in 2-D array
int K = 1;
// To create a 2-D array
// from to 1 to N*2
int A[N][N];
for ( int i = 0; i < N; i++)
{
for ( int j = 0; j < N; j++)
{
A[i][j] = K;
K++;
}
}
// If found even we reverse
// the alternate row elements
// to get all diagonal elements
// as all even or all odd
if (N % 2 == 0)
{
for ( int i = 0; i < N; i++)
{
if (i % 2 == 1)
{
int s = 0;
int l = N - 1;
// Reverse the row
while (s < l)
{
swap(A[i][s],
A[i][l]);
s++;
l--;
}
}
}
}
// Print the formed array
for ( int i = 0; i < N; i++)
{
for ( int j = 0; j < N; j++)
{
cout << A[i][j] << " " ;
}
cout << endl;
}
} // Driver code int main()
{ int N = 4;
// Function call
sub_mat_even(N);

This approach takes O(n*2) time complexity.
