Given a 2D array, print it in reverse spiral form. We have already discussed Print a given matrix in spiral form. This article discusses how to do the reverse printing. See the following examples.
Input: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Output: 10 11 7 6 5 9 13 14 15 16 12 8 4 3 2 1 Input: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 Output: 11 10 9 8 7 13 14 15 16 17 18 12 6 5 4 3 2 1
