Solution: Spiral Matrix

Explore how to implement a spiral order traversal for matrices. This lesson helps you understand the algorithm that navigates a matrix in left-to-right, top-to-bottom, right-to-left, and bottom-to-top cycles. You will learn to track direction changes, manage row and column boundaries, and optimize for time and space efficiency while returning the matrix elements in spiral order.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

Given an m×nm\times n matrix, return an array containing the matrix elements in spiral order, starting from the top-left cell.

Constraints:

  • 1≤1\leq matrix.length ≤10\leq 10
  • 1≤1\leq matrix[i].length ≤10\leq 10
