Create a matrix with alternating rectangles of O and X | Function to pralternating rectangles of 0 and X.
k - starting row index m - ending row index l - starting column index n - ending column index i - iterator.
Store given number of rows and columns for later use.
A 2D array to store the output to be printed.
Iniitialize the character to be stoed in a [ ] [ ].
Fill characters in a [ ] [ ] in spiral form . Every iteration fills one rectangle of either Xs or Os.
Fill the first row from the remaining rows.
Fill the last column from the remaining columns.
Fill the last row from the remaining rows.
Print the first column from the remaining columns.
Flip character for next iteration.
Print the filled matrix.
