Question

As I said, I would like to “scroll” through a Multi Dimensional array via the secondary diagonal, my desired input to be: (Case a) [It can be in either C++ or Java, it doesn’t matter]

NOTE+EDIT: The order is not random. It starts from the 1 at the bottom and goes its way up.

Is this possible?

If not then at least half of the code? (Case b)

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

// Case b:
0 0 0 1
0 0 9 6
0 8 5 3
7 4 2 1

Answer 1

You can do this with a simple loop (this is Java):

int size = 4;
int[][] matrix = new int[size][size];
// . . .
for (int i = 0; i < size; ++i) {
    doSomethingWith(matrix[i][size - i - 1]);
}
