# BOYS EVERYONE IS JUST PUTTING LONG LLM GENERATED ANSWER AND UPVOTING THEMSELVES WITH MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS . PLEASE SUPPORT GENUINE ANSWERS LIKE MINE . HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND WHY THE SOLUTION SECTION WAS CREATED IN FIRST PLACE. LORD RAM BLESS.\n\nnOW lets start .It is a mere simulation . You can try the other 2 variations as well for the same problem.\n\n* **Direction Control:** The `direction` variable determines the current direction of movement its globally created (East, South, West, or North).\n* **Step Calculation:** The `steps` variable track of the number of steps to move in each direction, increasing by 1 after each turn in East or West.\n* **Boundary Checks:** The `isValid` function checks that the current cell is within the matrix boundaries else will give a Array index out of bound IYLYk.\n* **Result Storage:** The `al` list stores the coordinates of the visited cells, which is later converted to a 2D integer array for the final result which is asked in question.\n\nIn case you find it difficult just do a dry run for an easy testcase. If unable to solve then just put in your revision list.\n\n# Code\n```java []\nclass Solution {\n    String[] options = new String[]{"East", "South", "West", "North"};\n    \n    public int[][] spiralMatrixIII(int rows, int cols, int rStart, int cStart) {\n        int steps = 0; \n        int i=0;\n        ArrayList<int[]> al = new ArrayList<>();\n        al.add(new int[]{rStart, cStart});\n        \n        while (al.size() < rows * cols) {\n            int direction = i % 4;\n            \n            if (direction == 0) { \n                steps++; //+1 Step\n                for (int walks = 0; walks < steps; walks++) {\n                    cStart++;\n                    if (isValid(rStart, cStart, rows, cols)) {\n                        al.add(new int[]{rStart, cStart});\n                    }\n                }\n            } else if (direction == 1) { // Moving South\n                for (int walks = 0; walks < steps; walks++) {\n                    rStart++;\n                    if (isValid(rStart, cStart, rows, cols)) {\n                        al.add(new int[]{rStart, cStart});\n                    }\n                }\n            } else if (direction == 2) { // Moving West\n                steps++; // +1 steps after moving West\n                for (int walks = 0; walks < steps; walks++) {\n                    cStart--;\n                    if (isValid(rStart, cStart, rows, cols)) {\n                        al.add(new int[]{rStart, cStart});\n                    }\n                }\n            } else { // Moving North\n                for (int walks = 0; walks < steps; walks++) {\n                    rStart--;\n                    if (isValid(rStart, cStart, rows, cols)) {\n                        al.add(new int[]{rStart, cStart});\n                    }\n                }\n                \n            }\n            \n            i++; // Move to the next direction\n        }\n        \n        return al.toArray(new int[al.size()][]);\n    }\n\n    private boolean isValid(int r, int c, int rows, int cols) {\n        return r >= 0 && r < rows && c >= 0 && c < cols;\n// As the path is a bit different so we will check is the row and col lies within the boundary.\n    }\n}\n\n```
