Boundary Traversal of Matrix

This program prints boundary traversal of a matrix.

Problem Statement

Write a Java program to print boundary traversal of a 4x4 matrix.

Source Code

1 public class MatrixBoundaryTraversal {
2 public static void main(String[] args) {
3 System.out.println("Eduinq Matrix Boundary Traversal");
4 int[][] A = {
5 {1,2,3,4},
6 {5,6,7,8},
7 {9,10,11,12},
8 {13,14,15,16}
9 };
10 for(int j=0;j<4;j++) System.out.print(A[0][j]+" ");
11 for(int i=1;i<4;i++) System.out.print(A[i][3]+" ");
12 for(int j=2;j>=0;j--) System.out.print(A[3][j]+" ");
13 for(int i=2;i>0;i--) System.out.print(A[i][0]+" ");
14 }
15 }

Program Output

Eduinq Matrix Boundary Traversal
1 2 3 4 8 12 16 15 14 13 9 5 

Explanation

Boundary traversal prints the first row, then the last column, then the last row in reverse, then the first column in reverse, with separate loops handling each side, demonstrating a full boundary traversal.
