This is the kind of stuff that makes me follow a blog: unexpected, challenging and interesting posts :P<br /><br />I writed some code to solve this problem, also in haskell and with a similar approach. I tried to make it shorter and clearer than the one you proposed, but it wasn't possible :P, however it runs faster for big instances (100 onwards)<br /><br />Here goes the code and bit of explanation.<br />------------------<br />This is and also recursive implementation. The idea is to find the spiral matrix of n, using the spiral matrix of n-1 and so on.<br /><br />Unlike your implementation, this one returns a list of lists, where each sub list corresponds to a row.<br /><br />The basic procedure is the following:<br />For example to find the spiralM of order 3,already having spiral of order 2 --> [[3,2], [0,1]] <br /><br />We want to add at the end of each row of the submatrix<br />the elements that don't correspond to the first row of the next matrix (as Nicolas explained ).This is '5' and '4'. Let's call this two elements 'last of row' elements.<br />To do this we may add each 'last of row'element at the start of each sublist that corresponds to it in ascending order. Then reverse the list resulting of reversing every Sublist.<br />And we'll obtain: -> [[1,0,5], [2,3,4]]<br /><br />Here we first got [[5,0,1],[4,3,2]] and the we double-reverse this list.<br /><br />At last we must add at the beginning of the current matrix the list the sublist [8..6]. This will result in the Spiral Matrix we are looking for.<br /><br />Why adding elements add start? Because it's requires less time in processing, avoiding all the time using functions as append (++) that requires to walk over the entire list.<br /><br />Here goes the code...
