I am sure there is a mathematical equation that would simplify this
Well, here's it. I hope it works.
Has someone written a test program that compares the outputs
of different solutions in this thread with each other?
#!perl
use warnings;
use strict;
my($n, $wd, $fmt, $x, $y, $r);
$n = int($ARGV[-1] || 5);
$wd = length($n**2);
$fmt = "%${wd}d ";
for $x (0 .. $n - 1) {
for $y (0 .. $n - 1) {
$r = $x <= $y ?
$x + $y <= $n - 1 ?
-4*$x**2 + 4*$n*$x - $x + $y + 1 :
-4*$y**2 + 4*$n*$y - 5*$y + $x + 2*$n
+- 1 :
$x + $y <= $n - 1 ?
-4*$y**2 + 4*$n*$y - 7*$y - $x + 4*$n
+- 3 :
-4*$x**2 + 4*$n*$x - 3*$x - $y + 2*$n
+- 1;
printf $fmt, $r;
}
print "\n";
}
__END__

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
