Lintcode: Matrix Zigzag Traversal

Given a matrix of m x n elements (m rows, n columns), return all elements of the matrix in ZigZag-order.

Have you met this question in a real interview? Yes
Example
Given a matrix:

[
  [1, 2,  3,  4],
  [5, 6,  7,  8],
  [9,10, 11, 12]
]
return [1, 2, 5, 9, 6, 3, 4, 7, 10, 11, 8, 12]

先斜上走到顶，再斜下走到底，直到计数器满, 写的时候老是fail，才发现14行for循环i不需要++，循环里面自己加了

注意corner cases, 以斜上为例

如果是

1,2

5,6

9,10

中6的这种情况，下一个点是10，则x = x+2, y=y-1

如果是1这种情况， 下一个点是2，则只需x = x+1
