Questions

This was the last of the interviews, so the interviewer was in a hurry and named a shorter problem.

Given a 2D array of boxes with two dimensions that are not the same (e.g., a 4x5 array), write an algorithm that traverses every box in a spiral direction until it reaches the center box.

For example: Starting at the top left, traverse every box from left to right. Once you reach the top right, traverse down until you reach the bottom right corner. Then, traverse left, up, right, down, left, and so on.
