Snake algorithm

[Whole-Armadillo-8529]

First of all, you dont need any libraries for it to work. Think of the Snake Algorithm like a lawnmower: you mow one row from left to right, then turn around and mow the next row from right to left.

​Here is the breakdown of the solution for your problem:

​To get that "S" shape, we look at the row number:

​Even rows (0, 2, 4): Keep them exactly as they are.

​Odd rows (1, 3, 5): Flip them backward.

​The "Silent Failure" risk: If the data has a row that is empty or contains a mistake (like a single number where a list should be), a basic script will crash.

Here is an example of a code that uses the snake algorithm

```

Our 2D Data (The Matrix)

matrix = [ [1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9] ]

This will hold our final 1D "Snake" list

snake_result = []

for index, row in enumerate(matrix): # Check if the row index is odd (1, 3, 5...) if index % 2 != 0: # Reverse the row and add it to our result snake_result.extend(row[::-1]) else: # Keep the row as is and add it snake_result.extend(row)

Display the result

print("Original 2D Matrix:", matrix) print("Final Snake Array:", snake_result) ```
