EDIT: I do not want your code! just help me think of a nice way to do it :)

I have a string with 25 characters: ABCDEFGHIKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

and I want to create a matrix5*5 given a position and a direction, position can be one of the corners and direction can be clock or counter clock.

so if I gave this arguments: create((0,0), clock)

I want to recive: ["ABCDE", "QRSTF", "PYZUG", "OXWVH", "NMLKI"]

and I could then print it and recieve:

A B C D E

Q R S T F

P Y Z U G

O X W V H

N M L K I

    It sounds like you're asking us to write your assignment for you. Might I suggest that people here might be more helpful if you attempted it, posted your code, then asked specific questions about something not working correctly. Commented Dec 4, 2016 at 4:48

  • stackoverflow.com/questions/36834505/… and stackoverflow.com/questions/23706690/… can possibly be adapted. There are many more such spiral questions. Commented Dec 4, 2016 at 4:53
  • @Gerrat I have already coded this and it is working but I kinda brute forced it, as i know that the matrix is always 5*5 i have inserted the characters one by one depending on the position and direction. this works for me, but i would like to make this smarter.. I just cant think of anything.. I already tried something with this sequence (5,4,4,3,3,2,2,1,1) wich is the number of inputs to the list every time i change direction, but it is dumb asswel..
