    1. Change ArrayList to Array and all logic and process will be same, since return type is ArrayList so before returning you have to copy Array into ArrayList again that will be additional changes.

    1. public class Solution {
      public int[][] diagonal(int[][] a) {
      int n = a.length-1;
      ArrayList> otp = new ArrayList<>();

      for(int i=0; i temp = new ArrayList<>();
      int row = 0, col = i;
      while(col >= 0) {
      temp.add(a[row][col]);
      row++;
      col--;
      }
      otp.add(temp);
      }

      for(int i=1; i temp = new ArrayList<>();
      int row = i, col = n-1;
      while(row < n) {
      temp.add(a[row][col]);
      row++;
      col--;
      }
      otp.add(temp);
      }
      int[][] otpArray = new int[n+n-1][n+n-1];
      for(int i=0; i<otp.size(); i++)
      for(int j=0; j<otp.get(i).size(); j++)
      otpArray[i][j] = otp.get(i).get(j);

      return otpArray;
      }
      }

    2. Its giving :
      [1 0 0 ] [2 4 0 ] [5 0 0 ]

      But it should:
      [1 ] [2 4 ] [3 5 7 ] [6 8 ] [9 ]

      Delete
