# --description--
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
A 'zig-zag' array is a square arrangement of the first $N^2$ integers, where the numbers increase sequentially as you zig-zag along the array's [anti-diagonals](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/antidiagonal).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
For example, for the input `5`, the following result should be produced:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<pre>
 | 
						|
 0  1  5  6 14
 | 
						|
 2  4  7 13 15
 | 
						|
 3  8 12 16 21
 | 
						|
 9 11 17 20 22
 | 
						|
10 18 19 23 24
 | 
						|
</pre>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# --instructions--
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Write a function that takes the size of the zig-zag matrix, and returns the corresponding matrix as two-dimensional array.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# --hints--
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
ZigZagMatrix should be a function.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
assert.equal(typeof ZigZagMatrix, 'function');
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
ZigZagMatrix should return array.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
assert.equal(typeof ZigZagMatrix(1), 'object');
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
ZigZagMatrix should return an array of nested arrays.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
assert.equal(typeof ZigZagMatrix(1)[0], 'object');
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
ZigZagMatrix(1) should return \[[0]].
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
assert.deepEqual(ZigZagMatrix(1), zm1);
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
ZigZagMatrix(2) should return \[[0, 1], [2, 3]].
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
assert.deepEqual(ZigZagMatrix(2), zm2);
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
ZigZagMatrix(5) should return specified matrix.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
assert.deepEqual(ZigZagMatrix(5), zm5);
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# --seed--
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## --after-user-code--
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
const zm1 = [[0]];
 | 
						|
const zm2 = [[0, 1], [2, 3]];
 | 
						|
const zm5 = [
 | 
						|
  [0, 1, 5, 6, 14],
 | 
						|
  [2, 4, 7, 13, 15],
 | 
						|
  [3, 8, 12, 16, 21],
 | 
						|
  [9, 11, 17, 20, 22],
 | 
						|
  [10, 18, 19, 23, 24]
 | 
						|
];
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## --seed-contents--
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
function ZigZagMatrix(n) {
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  return [[], []];
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# --solutions--
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
function ZigZagMatrix(n) {
 | 
						|
  const mtx = [];
 | 
						|
  for (let i = 0; i < n; i++) {
 | 
						|
    mtx[i] = [];
 | 
						|
  }
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  let i = 1;
 | 
						|
  let j = 1;
 | 
						|
  for (let e = 0; e < n * n; e++) {
 | 
						|
    mtx[i - 1][j - 1] = e;
 | 
						|
    if ((i + j) % 2 === 0) {
 | 
						|
      // Even stripes
 | 
						|
      if (j < n) j++;
 | 
						|
      else i += 2;
 | 
						|
      if (i > 1) i--;
 | 
						|
    } else {
 | 
						|
      // Odd stripes
 | 
						|
      if (i < n) i++;
 | 
						|
      else j += 2;
 | 
						|
      if (j > 1) j--;
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
  }
 | 
						|
  return mtx;
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
