Spiral Traversal of Matrix Leetcode
/*
This is an implementation that demonstrates
how to efficiently spiral traverse a two
dimensional array. In particular, the program
acts on an M*N 2-D array, returning
its elements in spiral order.
Let M be the number of rows of 2-D array and
N be its number of columns.
Time complexity: O(M*N)
Space complexity: O(1)
