Diagonal Order Problem Statement

Given a 2D matrix, output all elements of the matrix in diagonal order, starting from the top-left element and proceeding diagonally.

Input:

Line 1: Two integers, R and C, denoting the number of rows and columns in the matrix.
Line 2: R * C integers separated by spaces, representing the elements of the matrix.

Output:

The elements of the matrix printed in diagonal order.

Example:

Input:
R = 3, C = 3
matrix = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
Output:
1 2 4 7 5 3 6 8 9

Constraints:

  • 1 <= R <= 103
  • 1 <= C <= 103

Note:

The diagonals are traversed alternately from bottom-left to top-right and top-right to bottom-left. Ensure that your solution efficiently handles large matrices and takes advantage of the matrix properties.
