Reverse the diamond elements in square matrix

The given problem involves reversing the elements in a diamond pattern within a square matrix. The goal is to create a function that takes a square matrix as input and rearranges its elements in a way that the elements along the diagonals form a diamond shape, and then reverse the order of those diamond elements.

Problem Statement

You are given a square matrix with odd dimensions. You need to reverse the diamond elements within the matrix. The diamond elements are the elements along the diagonals that form a diamond shape. For example, in a 5x5 matrix:


    1  2  3  4  5
    6  7  8  9  10
    11  12  13  15  16
    17  18  19  20  21
    22  23  24  25  26
  
  # Diamond of matrix
          3    
       7  8  9  
    11 12 13 15 16
       18 19 20  
          24   
  
  # When Reverse by row of diamond
          3    
       9  8  7 
    16 15 13 12 11  
       20 19 18 
          24 
  # Final result
  
    1  2  3  4  5
    6  9  8  7 10
   16 15 13 12 11
   17 20 19 18 21
   22 23 24 25 26

Solution Approach

To solve this problem, the code provides a function reverse_row that takes the matrix as input and performs the following steps:

  1. Check if the matrix is square and has odd dimensions. If it doesn't satisfy these conditions, the function will not proceed.
  2. Initialize a variable col_s to the middle column index.
  3. Loop through each row of the matrix: a. Call the change function to reverse the elements in the diamond shape for the current row. b. Decrease col_s for the first half of the rows and increase it for the second half.

The change function swaps the elements along the diagonal forming the diamond shape. It iterates through half of the row and swaps the elements with their corresponding elements on the opposite side of the diamond.

Pseudocode

function change(matrix, row_s, col_s):
        for i from col_s to (COL - 1) - col_s:
            swap matrix[row_s][i] with matrix[row_s][COL - 1 - i]
    
    function reverse_row(matrix):
        if ROW != COL or COL is even:
            print "This is not a perfect odd rows or columns matrix"
            return
        col_s = COL / 2
        for i from 0 to ROW - 1:
            call change(matrix, i, col_s)
            if i < ROW / 2:
                col_s = col_s - 1
            else:
                col_s = col_s + 1
    
    matrix = predefined square matrix
    show_data(matrix)
    reverse_row(matrix)
    show_data(matrix)

Algorithm Explanation

  1. The change function iterates through half of the row's elements from col_s to (COL - 1) - col_s.
  2. It swaps the current element with the element at the corresponding position on the opposite side of the diamond.
  3. The reverse_row function first checks if the matrix is square and has odd dimensions. If not, it prints an error message and returns.
  4. It initializes col_s to the middle column index.
  5. The loop in the reverse_row function iterates through each row of the matrix: a. It calls the change function to reverse the diamond elements in the current row. b. For the first half of the rows, col_s is decreased to move inward through the diamond shape. For the second half, it's increased to move outward.

Code Solution

  {
      //Swap element value
      temp=matrix[row_s][i];
      matrix[row_s][i] = matrix[row_s][(COL-1)-i];
      matrix[row_s][(COL-1)-i]=temp;
  }
}
//Reversing diamond position element in row wise

{

  {
    printf("\nThis is not a perfect odd rows or columns matrix");
    return;
  }

  int col_s = COL / 2;

  for (int i = 0; i < ROW; ++i)

}

{

    {

    }
    printf("\n");
  }
  printf("\n");
}

  int matrix[ROW][COL] ={
    {1,  2,   3,  4,  5},

Time Complexity

The change function has a time complexity of O(N), where N is the number of columns in the matrix. The reverse_row function iterates through each row and calls the change function, resulting in a time complexity of O(N^2), where N is the number of rows/columns in the matrix. The overall time complexity of the given code is O(N^2).
