Construct a Grid with Specific Consecutive Counts
You are given a positive integer (n). Your task is to construct an (n \times n) grid of integers following these rules:
- For each integer (k) where (1 \le k \le n), you must place exactly (k) occurrences of (k) in the grid.
- The (k) occurrences for each number must be placed consecutively in one direction (either horizontally or vertically).
- Any cell that is not filled by the consecutive block for any (k) should remain as (0).
For example, if (n=3), one valid grid is:
1 2 2 3 3 3 0 0 0
In the above grid, the number 1 appears exactly 1 time, 2 appears exactly 2 times consecutively (in row 1), and 3 appears exactly 3 times consecutively (in row 2).
Note: It is guaranteed that a solution exists by placing the blocks greedily from (k=1) to (k=n) in row-major order.
inputFormat
The input consists of a single integer (n) ((1 \le n \le 50)), representing the size of the grid.
outputFormat
Output the (n \times n) grid. Each of the (n) lines should contain (n) integers separated by a single space.## sample
