Question

Program to sort non-boundary elements of the matrix in ascending order.

				
					Matrix =  [5, 2, 9, 8, 7]
          [9, 6, 4, 2, 3]
          [3, 8, 1, 3, 9]
          [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
          
          
SORTED MATRIX
[5, 2, 9, 8, 7]
[9, 1, 2, 3, 3]
[3, 4, 6, 8, 9]
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

You can also replace code from line 22 to line 27 with nonBoundaryElements.sort()
it will do the same thing.
