Given a 2D array, the task is to print matrix in anti spiral form:
Examples:
Output: 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
Input : arr[][4] = {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 :arr[][6] = {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
The idea is simple, we traverse matrix in spiral form and put all traversed elements in a stack. Finally one by one elements from stack and print them.
