diagonal 0.0.2

A small collection of functions to get various diagonals of a 2d matrix

A small module for getting diagonals in a 2D Array

import diagonal
arr = [] #your array

Definition

get(arr, start = "0", direction = "up", type="all")

start (single character)

0 - start from the first row

m - start from m'th row

direction (string)

up - uses upward direction for traversal

down - downward direction for traversal

**type **(string)

all - default value which indicates that all diagonals are considered

main - gives the main diagonal of square matrix

anti - gives anti diagonal of square matrix

zigzag - gives zigzag traversal of the matrix

---

Usages

1. Square matrix

   • Main diagonal diagonal.get(arr, type = "main")

   • Anti diagonal diagonal.get(arr, type = "anti")

   • Also zigzags upwards and downwards

     diagonal.get(arr, type = "zigzag" ,direction ="up")

2. Other matrices

   All traversals except main and anti diagonals

   Ex: diagonal.get(arr, start = "0", direction = "up") gives all diagonals starting from the first elements traversed in upward direction.

Return values

• Any errors return a string

• Main and Anti diagonal traversals returns a list

• ZigZag traversals return a list

• Others return a list of list having individual diagonals
