Print Matrix in Snake Pattern

The document describes calculating the absolute difference between the sums of the diagonals of a square matrix. It provides an example matrix and explains that the left-to-right diagonal sums to 4, the right-to-left diagonal sums to 19, and their absolute difference is 15. It then provides the function signature and parameters to define a function that takes a 2D array as a parameter and returns the absolute diagonal difference of the matrix as an integer.

Given a square matrix, calculate the absolute difference between the sums of its

diagonals.

For example, the square matrix is shown below:

123
456
989
The left-to-right diagonal = . The right to left diagonal = . Their absolute

difference is .

Function description

Complete the function in the editor below.

diagonalDifference takes the following parameter:

 int arr[n][m]: an array of integers

Return

 int: the absolute diagonal difference

Input Format

The first line contains a single integer, , the number of rows and columns in the

square matrix .

Each of the next lines describes a row, , and consists of space-separated

integers .

Constraints

Output Format
Return the absolute difference between the sums of the matrix's two diagonals

as a single integer.

Sample Input

3
11 2 4
456
10 8 -12
Sample Output

15
Explanation

The primary diagonal is:

11
5
-12
Sum across the primary diagonal: 11 + 5 - 12 = 4

The secondary diagonal is:

4
5
10
Sum across the secondary diagonal: 4 + 5 + 10 = 19

Difference: |4 - 19| = 15

Note: |x| is the absolute value of x

Print matrix in snake pattern


Given an n x n matrix .In the given matrix, you have to print the elements of the
matrix in the snake pattern.
Examples :
Input :mat[][] = { {10, 20, 30, 40},
{15, 25, 35, 45},
{27, 29, 37, 48},
{32, 33, 39, 50}};

Output : 10 20 30 40 45 35 25 15 27 29
37 48 50 39 33 32

Input :mat[][] = { {1, 2, 3},


{4, 5, 6},
{7, 8, 9}};
Output : 1 2 3 6 5 4 7 8 9
