Matrix Traversal

Matrices (2D arrays) represent grids. Traversal involves visiting elements using nested loops, usually with `i` for rows and `j` for columns.

Row Major

Process row by row.

Column Major

Process column by column.

Diagonal

Process elements where row index + col index is constant.

Spiral

Process in a spiral boundary pattern.

💡 2D Indexing

An element in an `M x N` matrix at `(r, c)` can be mapped to a 1D array index using: `index = r * N + c`. This is how matrices are actually stored in memory.
