如何编写一个代码，在c中使用for循环（无数组）打印特定的数字螺旋图案

我想编写一个代码，从用户那里获取整数n，并以螺旋模式打印从1到n*n的数字，而不使用数组。

你对如何编写这段代码有什么建议吗

编辑： 以下是使用数组的代码：

#include <stdio.h>

int main(){
/*declaration of the variables*/
int i, j, ascendingNumbers;
int leftAndTop, rightAndBottom;
int size;
scanf("%d", &size);
int matrix[size][size];

leftAndTop = 0;
rightAndBottom = size - 1;
ascendingNumbers = 1;

/*filling the array*/
for(i = 1; i <= size/2; i++, leftAndTop++, rightAndBottom--){
    /*left to right*/
    for(j = leftAndTop; j <= rightAndBottom; j++, ascendingNumbers++){
        matrix[leftAndTop][j] = ascendingNumbers;
    }

    /*top to bottom*/
    for(j = leftAndTop + 1; j <= rightAndBottom; j++, ascendingNumbers++){
        matrix[j][rightAndBottom] = ascendingNumbers;
    }

    /*right to left*/
    for(j = rightAndBottom-1; j >= leftAndTop; j--, ascendingNumbers++){
        matrix[rightAndBottom][j] = ascendingNumbers;
    }

    /*bottom to top*/
    for(j = rightAndBottom - 1; j >= leftAndTop+1; j--, ascendingNumbers++){
        matrix[j][leftAndTop] = ascendingNumbers;
    }
}

/*fill the center for odd size*/
if(size % 2){
    matrix[leftAndTop][j + 1] = ascendingNumbers;
}

/*print*/
for(i = 0; i < size; i++){
    for(j = 0; j < size; j++){
        printf("%d  ", matrix[i][j]);
    }
    printf("\n");
}

return 0;
}

#包括
int main（）{
/*变量的声明*/
整数i，j，递增数；
int leftAndTop、right和bottom；
整数大小；
scanf（“%d”，大小（&S）；
整数矩阵[大小][大小]；
leftAndTop=0；
rightAndBottom=大小-1；
上升数=1；
/*填充数组*/
对于（i=1；i一种解决方案是使用已经可以用螺旋模式填充数组的代码，并将其放入嵌套循环中，使用该代码查找当前打印位置的编号。当然有更有效的解决方案，但这允许您将适用于数组的解决方案转换为不需要数组的解决方案

这里的第一个程序使用数组来打印数字的螺旋模式。第二个程序是第一个程序的修改版本，当打印位置与螺旋循环中的位置匹配时打印数字，而不是将其存储在数组中。我将让您看看是否可以修改现有代码来完成此操作

使用二维阵列：

/* A program that prints a spiral using a 2d array */

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    int size;
    if (argc < 2 || (sscanf(argv[1], "%d", &size) != 1) || size < 1) {
        fprintf(stderr, "Usage: spiral N  [N > 0]\n");
        return 1;
    }

    int arr[size][size];
    int num_elems = size * size;


    enum Dir { RIGHT, DOWN, LEFT, UP };
    int num_directions = 4;

    int side_len = size;
    int row = 0;       // arr row index
    int col = 0;       // arr column index
    int pos = 0;       // position in a side

    // travel around the spiral to fill the array
    enum Dir direction = RIGHT;
    for (int i = 0; i < num_elems; i++) {
        arr[row][col] = i + 1;
        ++pos;

        if (pos == side_len) {                             // change direction
            direction = (direction + 1) % num_directions;
            pos = 0;

            // having changed direction, shorten side_len in two cases
            if (direction == DOWN || direction == UP) {
                --side_len;
            }
        }

        switch (direction) {
        case RIGHT:
            ++col;
            break;
        case DOWN:
            ++row;
            break;
        case LEFT:
            --col;
            break;
        case UP:
            --row;
            break;
        default:
            fprintf(stderr, "Unexpected value in switch statement\n");
            return 1;
        }
    }

    for (row = 0; row < size; row++) {
        for (col = 0; col < size; col++) {
            printf("%4d", arr[row][col]);
        }
        putchar('\n');
    }
    putchar('\n');

    return 0;
}

不，这个问题应该通过for和while循环来解决。我使用数组编写了代码，但是我需要在没有数组的情况下编写代码，我无法这样做。我编辑了文章并添加了代码

        return 1;
    }

    int arr[size][size];
    int num_elems = size * size;


    enum Dir { RIGHT, DOWN, LEFT, UP };
    int num_directions = 4;

    int side_len = size;

    // travel around the spiral to fill the array
    enum Dir direction = RIGHT;
    for (int i = 0; i < num_elems; i++) {
        arr[row][col] = i + 1;
        ++pos;

        if (pos == side_len) {                             // change direction
