Given a square matrix mat[][] and a positive integer K. The task is to print the Kth boundary of mat[][].
Examples:
Input: mat[][] = {{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, K = 1
{6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
{11, 12, 13, 14, 15}
{16, 17, 18, 19, 20}
{21, 22, 23, 24, 25}}
Output: 1 2 3 4 5
6 10
11 15
16 20
21 22 23 24 25
Explanation: The first boundary of mat[][] is above.Input: mat[][] = {{1, 2, 3}, K = 2
{4, 5, 6}
{7, 8, 9}}
Output: 5
Approach: This problem is implementation-based. Traverse the matrix and check for every element if that element lies on the Kth boundary or not. If yes then print the element else print space character. Follow the steps below to solve the given problem.
- for i in from 0 to N
- for j in from 0 to N
- if((i == K – 1 or i == N – K) and (j >= K – 1 and j <= N – K))
- print mat[i][j]
- else if (j == K – 1 or j == N – K) and (i >= K – 1 and i <= N – K):
- print mat[i][j]
- if((i == K – 1 or i == N – K) and (j >= K – 1 and j <= N – K))
- for j in from 0 to N
- This will give the required Kth border of mat[][]
Below is the implementation of the above approach.
