    Post Please help with displaying 2D array

    I got assigment at my school to display 2D array like this:

    This is default array:
    1 2 3 4
    5 6 7 8
    9 10 11 12
    13 14 15 16

    Now I have to print the default array like this:

    1 2 6 7
    3 5 8 13
    4 9 12 14
    10 11 15 16

    Well, every zig-zag in the picture is basically the same proceedure, just from a different starting point. That indicates how the outer loop should be defined, eg, the first iteration of the outer loop sets 1-3, the second sets 4-10, the third sets 11-21, etc.

    Within the outer loop, it will probably be easiest to use two separate inner loops, one for traversal in each direction.

    Within each inner loop, it's just a matter of incrementing the indexes appropriately and writing the next number.
