How to solve diagonal difference hacker rank?




Given a square matrix, calculate the absolute difference between the sums of its diagonals.

For example, the square matrix  is shown below:

1 2 3
4 5 6
9 8 9  

The left-to-right diagonal = . The right to left diagonal = . Their absolute difference is .

Function description

Complete the  function in the editor below. It must return an integer representing the absolute diagonal difference.

diagonalDifference takes the following parameter:

  • arr: an array of integers .

Input Format

The first line contains a single integer, , the number of rows and columns in the matrix .
Each of the next  lines describes a row, , and consists of  space-separated integers .

Constraints

Output Format

Print the absolute difference between the sums of the matrix's two diagonals as a single integer.

Sample Input

3
11 2 4
4 5 6
10 8 -12

Sample Output

15

Explanation

The primary diagonal is:

11
   5
     -12

Sum across the primary diagonal: 11 + 5 - 12 = 4

The secondary diagonal is:

     4
   5
10

Sum across the secondary diagonal: 4 + 5 + 10 = 19
Difference: |4 - 19| = 15

Note: |x| is the absolute value of x


Solution:-


<?php


/*

 * Complete the 'diagonalDifference' function below.

 *

 * The function is expected to return an INTEGER.

 * The function accepts 2D_INTEGER_ARRAY arr as parameter.

 */


function diagonalDifference($arr) {

    // Write your code here

    $rightdiagonal=0;

    $leftdiagonal=0;

    $difference=0;

    $n=sizeof($arr);

    for($i=0;$i<$n;$i++){

        for($j=0;$j<$n;$j++){

            if($i==$j){

                $leftdiagonal+=$arr[$i][$j];

            }

            if(($i+$j)==($n-1)){

                $rightdiagonal+=$arr[$i][$j];

            }

        }

    }

    $difference=abs($rightdiagonal-$leftdiagonal);

    return($difference);


}


$fptr = fopen(getenv("OUTPUT_PATH"), "w");


$n = intval(trim(fgets(STDIN)));


$arr = array();


for ($i = 0; $i < $n; $i++) {

    $arr_temp = rtrim(fgets(STDIN));


    $arr[] = array_map('intval', preg_split('/ /', $arr_temp, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY));

}


$result = diagonalDifference($arr);


fwrite($fptr, $result . "\n");


fclose($fptr);
