    To print a matrix in spiral form, we can simulate the traversal using a direction array or use boundary traversal. In the simulation method, we track visited cells with a 2D array and change direction when necessary. The boundary traversal method divides the matrix into loops and prints the outermost boundary first, then moves inward. Both methods have a time complexity of O(m*n), where m and n are the number of rows and columns.
