Problem 56180. Boustrophedon
Given a vector v and a positive integer n, return an m-by-n matrix containing the elements of v row-wise, alternating left-to-right and right-to-left ordering:
You can assume that the number of elements of v will be an integer multiple of n.
For example:
v = 1:12;
boustrophedon(v,4)
ans =
1 2 3 4
8 7 6 5
9 10 11 12
boustrophedon(v,6)
ans =
1 2 3 4 5 6
12 11 10 9 8 7
v = [20 1 18 4 13 6 10 15 2 17 3 19 7 16 8 11 14 9 12 5];
ans =
20 1 18 4 13
17 2 15 10 6
3 19 7 16 8
5 12 9 14 11
t = 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. hat to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powe';
