#19 The Clockwise Spiral


##Do you know how to make a spiral? Let's test it!

Classic definition: A spiral is a curve which emanates from a central point, getting progressively farther away as it revolves around the point.


Your objective is to complete a function createSpiral(N) that receives an integer N and returns an NxN two-dimensional array with numbers 1 through N^2 represented as a clockwise spiral.


Return an empty array if N < 1 or N is not int/number


Examples:


N = 3 Output: [[1,2,3],[8,9,4],[7,6,5]]


1    2    3    

8    9    4    

7    6    5

N = 4 Output: [[1,2,3,4],[12,13,14,5],[11,16,15,6],[10,9,8,7]]


1   2   3   4

12  13  14  5

11  16  15  6

10  9   8   7

N = 5 Output: [[1,2,3,4,5],[16,17,18,19,6],[15,24,25,20,7],[14,23,22,21,8],[13,12,11,10,9]]


1   2   3   4   5    

16  17  18  19  6    

15  24  25  20  7    

14  23  22  21  8    

13  12  11  10  9
