Given N which is the size of the N X N spiral matrix of the form: 
 

16 15 14 13
5  4  3  12
6  1  2  11
7  8  9  10

The task is to find the sum of the diagonal elements of this matrix.
Examples: 
 

Input: N = 3
Output: 25
5 4 3
6 1 2
7 8 9
The sum of elements along its two diagonals will be 
1 + 3 + 7 + 5 + 9 = 25

Input: N = 5
Output: 101

 

Recursive Approach: The idea behind the solution is to use recursion to compute sum of the diagonal elements. 

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 

C++




// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to return the sum of both the
// diagonal elements of the required matrix
int findSum(int n)
{
    // Base cases
    if(n == 0) {
        return 0;
    }
    if(n == 1) {
        return 1;
    }
     
    int ans = 0;
    // Computing for ans
    for (int i = 2; i <= n; i++) {
        ans =(4 * (i * i))
                - 6 * (i - 1) + findSum(n - 2);
    }
    // Return ans;
    return ans;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int n = 4;
 
    cout << findSum(n);
 
    return 0;
}


Java




// Java implementation of the approach
import java.util.*;
 
public class GFG
{
   
// Function to return the sum of both the
// diagonal elements of the required matrix
static int findSum(int n)
{
    // Base cases
    if(n == 0) {
        return 0;
    }
    if(n == 1) {
        return 1;
    }
     
    int ans = 0;
    // Computing for ans
    for (int i = 2; i <= n; i++) {
        ans =(4 * (i * i))
                - 6 * (i - 1) + findSum(n - 2);
    }
    // Return ans;
    return ans;
}
 
// Driver code
public static void main(String args[])
{
    int n = 4;
     
    System.out.println(findSum(n));
     
}
}

Dynamic Programming Approach: Idea behind the solution is to use the concept of Dynamic Programming. We will use array dp[] to store our solution. N given in the problem can either be even or odd. 
When i is odd, we have to add only 4 corner elements in dp[i – 2]
 

dp[i] = dp[i – 2] + (i – 2) * (i – 2) + (i – 1) + (i – 2) * (i – 2) + 2 * (i – 1) + (i – 2) * (i – 2) + 3 * (i – 1) + (i – 2) * (i – 2) + 4 * (i – 1) 
dp[i] = dp[i – 2] + 4 * (i – 2) * (i – 2) + 10 * (i – 1) 
dp[i] = dp[i – 2] + 4 * (i) * (i) – 6 * (i – 1) 
 

Similarly, we can check that the above formula is true when i is even.
Below is the implementation of the above approach:

#include <bits/stdc++.h>

    int dp[n + 1];
 
    // Base cases
    dp[1] = 1;
    dp[0] = 0;
 
    // Computing the value of dp
    for (int i = 2; i <= n; i++) {
        dp[i] = (4 * (i * i))
                - 6 * (i - 1) + dp[i - 2];
    }
 
    return dp[n];
