/**

* Problem 28 - Number spiral diagonals

* @see {@link https://projecteuler.net/problem=28}

* Starting with the number 1 and moving to the right in a clockwise direction a 5 by 5 spiral is formed as follows:

* 21 22 23 24 25

* 20 07 08 09 10

* 19 06 01 02 11

* 18 05 04 03 12

* 17 16 15 14 13

* It can be verified that the sum of the numbers on the diagonals is 101.

* What is the sum of the numbers on the diagonals in a 1001 by 1001 spiral formed in the same way?

/**

* Adding more dimensions to the matrix, we will find at the top-right corner the follow sequence:

* 01, 09, 25, 49, 81, 121, 169, ...

* So this can be expressed as:

* i^2, where i is all odd numbers

* Also, we can know which numbers are in each corner dimension

* Just develop the sequence counter clockwise from top-right corner like this:

* First corner: i^2

* Second corner: i^2 - (i - 1) | The "i - 1" is the distance between corners in each dimension

* Third corner: i^2 - 2 * (i - 1)

* Fourth corner: i^2 - 3 * (i - 1)

* Doing the sum of each corner and simplifying, we found that the result for each dimension is:

* sumDim = 4 * i^2 + 6 * (1 - i)

* In this case I skip the 1x1 dim matrix because is trivial, that's why I start in a 3x3 matrix

result += 4 * i * i + 6 * (1 - i) // Calculate sum of each dimension corner

}

return result
