Documentation

This documentation provides the information about m x n matrix traversal using JavaScript 2D-array

Available functions

1) matrixCreator

matrixCreator(n_of_rows,n_of_columns);

Function to create matrix.

This function is used for dynamically creating a matrix with specified number of rows and columns. It takes value of each index through a user prompt input.
Parameter Description:
n_of_rows - Number of rows in matrix
n_of_columns - Number of column in matrix

Return Value:
Returns a 2D array

Example: Creating 3x3 matrix

matrixCreator(3,3);

2) traverseEast

traverseEast(m,n,l,arr);

Function to Traverse East

This function is used to traverse in east direction from the specific point in an array. The origin point of traversal is decided by m and n . It will traverse in east direction for number of elements passed as a value of l.

Parameters Description:
m - row index
n - column index
l - elements to traverse
arr - array/matrix to traverse into

Return Value:
Returns an element at which traversing ends.

Example Traversing 1 element towards east from (1,1)

var matrix=matrixCreator(3,3);
traverseEast(1,1,1,matrix);

3) traverseWest

traverseWest(m,n,l,arr);

Function to Traverse West

This function is used to traverse in west direction from the specific point in an array. The origin point of traversal is decided by m and n . It will traverse in west direction for number of elements passed as a value of l.

Parameters Description:
m - row index
n - column index
l - elements to traverse
arr - array/matrix to traverse into

Return Value:
Returns an element at which traversing ends.

Example: Traversing 1 element towards west from (1,1)

var matrix=matrixCreator(3,3);
traverseWest(1,1,1,matrix);

4) traverseNorth

traverseNorth(m,n,l,arr);

Function to Traverse North

This function is used to traverse in north direction from the specific point in an array. The origin point of traversal is decided by m and n. It will traverse in north direction for number elements passed as a value of l.

Parameters Description:
m - row index
n - column index
l - elements to traverse
arr - array/matrix to traverse into

Return Value:
Returns an element at which traversing ends.

Example: Traversing 1 element towards north from (1,1)

var matrix=matrixCreator(3,3);
traverseNorth(1,1,1,matrix);

5) traverseSouth

traverseSouth(m,n,l,arr);

Function to Traverse South

This function is used to traverse in south direction from the specific point in an array. The origin point of traversal is decided from the m and n passed as parameter. It will traverse in south direction for number of elements passed as a value of l in parameter.

Parameters Description:
m - row index
n - column index
l - elements to traverse
arr - array/matrix to traverse into

Return Value:
Returns an element at which traversing ends.

Example: Traversing 1 element towards south from (1,1)

var matrix=matrixCreator(3,3);
traverseSouth(1,1,1,matrix);

6) traverseNorthWest

traverseNorthWest(m,n,l,arr);

Function to Traverse North-West

This function is used to traverse in north-west direction from the specific point in an array. The origin point of traversal is decided by m and n. It will traverse in north-west direction for number of elements passed as a value of l.

Parameters Description:
m - row index
n - column index
l - elements to traverse
arr - array/matrix to traverse into

Return Value:
Returns an element at which traversing ends.

Example: Traversing 1 element towards north-west from (1,1)

var matrix=matrixCreator(3,3);
traverseNorthWest(1,1,1,matrix);

7) traverseNorthEast

traverseNorthEast(m,n,l,arr);

Function to Traverse North-East

This function is used to traverse in north-east direction from the specific point in an array. The origin point of traversal is decided by m and n. It will traverse in north-east direction for number of elements passed as a value of l.

Parameters Description:
m - row index
n - column index
l - elements to traverse
arr - array/matrix to traverse into

Return Value:
Returns an element at which traversing ends.

Example: Traversing 1 element towards north-east from (1,1)

var matrix=matrixCreator(3,3);
traverseNorthEast(1,1,1,matrix);

8) traverseSouthEast

traverseSouthEast(m,n,l,arr);

Function to Traverse South-East

This function is used to traverse in south-east direction from the specific point in an array. The origin point of traversal is decided from the m and n. It will traverse in south-east direction for number of elements passed as a value of l.

Parameters Description:
m - row index
n - column index
l - elements to traverse
arr - array/matrix to traverse into

Return Value:
Returns an element at which traversing ends.

Example: Traversing 1 element towards south-east from (1,1)

var matrix=matrixCreator(3,3);
traverseSouthEast(1,1,1,matrix);
