LeetCode 54: Spiral Matrix — Step-by-Step Visual Trace

1. 1Initialize a matrix with given dimensions m x n
2. 2Set up four pointers (top, bottom, left, right) to track the current boundaries of the matrix
3. 3Start from the top-left corner and traverse the matrix in a spiral order, moving clockwise through each layer
4. 4Append each element to the result list as you traverse the matrix
5. 5Update the pointers after each layer to ensure the spiral order is maintained

Software engineers and developers who want to improve their problem-solving skills and practice coding interviews can benefit from this tutorial, as it provides a step-by-step visual trace of the solution

💡 To solve the Spiral Matrix problem, you need to maintain four pointers to track the current boundaries of the matrix and traverse the matrix in a spiral order, starting from the top-left corner and moving clockwise through each layer
