Zig-zag matrix
Produce a zig-zag array. A zig-zag array is a square arrangement of the first N2 integers, where the numbers increase sequentially as you zig-zag along the anti-diagonals of the array. For a graphical representation, see JPG zigzag (JPG uses such arrays to encode images).
For example, given 5, produce this array:
0 1 5 6 14 2 4 7 13 15 3 8 12 16 21 9 11 17 20 22 10 18 19 23 24
There are a couple of succinct ways to produce these in J:
($ [: /:@; [: <@|.`</. i.)@,~ 5 0 1 5 6 14 2 4 7 13 15 3 8 12 16 21 9 11 17 20 22 10 18 19 23 24 ($ [: /:@; [: <@(A.~_2|#)/. i.)@,~ 5 0 1 5 6 14 2 4 7 13 15 3 8 12 16 21 9 11 17 20 22 10 18 19 23 24
