Program to Print Matrix in Z form
Last Updated :
16 Feb, 2023
Given a square matrix of order n*n, we need to print elements of the matrix in Z form
Input: [[4, 5, 6, 8],
[1, 2, 3, 1],
[7, 8, 9, 4],
[1, 8, 7, 5]]
Output: 4 5 6 8
3
8
1 8 7 5
Input: [[4, 5, 6, 8, 5],
[1, 2, 3, 1, 4],
[7, 8, 9, 4, 7],
[1, 8, 7, 5, 2],
[7, 9, 5, 6, 9],
[9, 4, 5, 6, 6]]
Output: 4 5 6 8 5
1
9
8
7
9 4 5 6 6
We need to traverse the first row of the matrix then the second diagonal and then the last row.
Implementation:
C++
// CPP program to print a square matrix in Z form
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
const int MAX = 100;
// Function to print a square matrix in Z form
void printZform(int mat[][MAX], int n)
{
// print first row
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
cout << mat[0][i] << " ";
// Print second diagonal
int i = 1, j = n - 2;
while (i < n && j >= 0)
{
cout << mat[i][j] << " ";
i++;
j--;
}
// Print last row
for (int i = 1; i < n; i++)
cout << mat[n - 1][i] << " ";
}
// Driver function
int main()
{
int mat[][MAX] = { { 4, 5, 6, 8 },
{ 1, 2, 3, 1 },
{ 7, 8, 9, 4 },
{ 1, 8, 7, 5 } };
printZform(mat, 4);
return 0;
}

class GFG {

{
int i = 0, j, k;
// print first row
for (j = 0; j < n - 1; j++) {
System.out.print(arr[i][j] + " ");
}
// Print diagonal
k = 1;
for (i = 0; i < n - 1; i++) {
for (j = 0; j < n; j++) {
if (j == n - k) {
System.out.print(arr[i][j] + " ");
break;
}
}
k++;
}
// Print last row
i = n - 1;
for (j = 0; j < n; j++)
System.out.print(arr[i][j] + " ");
System.out.print("\n");
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int a[][] = { { 4, 5, 6, 8 },
{ 1, 2, 3, 1 },
{ 7, 8, 9, 4 },
{ 1, 8, 7, 5 } };
diag(a, 4);
}

Alternatively, we can print first row and second diagonal except last element and then last row.
