Diagonal Difference

Problem

Given a square matrix, calculate the absolute difference between the sums of its diagonals.

For example, the square matrix  is shown below:

1 2 3
4 5 6
9 8 9  

The left-to-right diagonal = 1 + 5 + 9 = 15 . The right to left diagonal =
3 + 5 + 9 = 17 . Their absolute difference is |1517| = 2 .

Function description

Complete only diagonalDifference function in the editor below. It must return an integer representing the absolute diagonal difference.

diagonalDifference takes the following parameter:

  • arr: an array of integers .

Input Format

The first line contains a single integer, n , the number of rows and columns in the matrix .
Each of the next  n  lines describes a row, arr[i] , and consists of  n space-separated integers arr[i] [j].

Output Format

Print the absolute difference between the sums of the matrix’s two diagonals as a single integer.

Sample Input

3 --------> n
11 2 4
4 5 6
10 8 -12

Sample Output : 15

Explanation

The primary diagonal is:

11
   5
     -12

Sum across the primary diagonal: 11 + 5 – 12 = 4

The secondary diagonal is:

     4
   5
10

Sum across the secondary diagonal: 4 + 5 + 10 = 19 
Difference: |4 – 19| = 15

Note: |x| is the absolute value of x
