Solution: Spiral Matrix II

Explore how to fill an n by n matrix in a spiral pattern using a systematic layer-by-layer traversal. This lesson helps you understand key steps to traverse and fill matrix rows and columns in four directions, optimizing for an O(n²) time complexity. Gain hands-on skills essential for coding interviews involving matrix manipulation.

Statement

Given a positive integer n, create an n×nn \times n, matrix where the elements are sequential integers from 11 to n2n^2, arranged in a spiral pattern.
