Daily Interview Problem: Spiral Traversal of Grid

Hi, here's your problem today. This problem was recently asked by Amazon:

By the way, check out our NEW project AlgoPro (http://algopro.com) for over 60+ video coding sessions with ex-Google/ex-Facebook engineers.

You are given a 2D array of integers. Print out the clockwise spiral traversal of the matrix.

Example:

grid = [[1,  2,  3,  4,  5],

        [6,  7,  8,  9,  10],

        [11, 12, 13, 14, 15],

        [16, 17, 18, 19, 20]]

The clockwise spiral traversal of this array is:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 11, 6, 7, 8, 9, 14, 13, 12

Here is a starting point:

def matrix_spiral_print(M):

  # Fill this in.



grid = [[1,  2,  3,  4,  5],

        [6,  7,  8,  9,  10],

        [11, 12, 13, 14, 15],

        [16, 17, 18, 19, 20]]



matrix_spiral_print(grid)

# 1 2 3 4 5 10 15 20 19 18 17 16 11 6 7 8 9 14 13 12
