Matrix Zigzag Sum
Given a square matrix of integers, compute the sum of the elements that lie on the zigzag diagonal, which starts from the top-left corner, moves to the bottom-right corner, and then continues back to the top-right corner. If the matrix is not square, return 0.
Input format:
- The first line contains an integer n (1 <= n <= 100), the size of the n x n matrix.
- The next n lines each contain n integers, separated by spaces.
Output format:
- A single integer representing the sum of the zigzag diagonal elements.
Example:
Input:
3
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
Output:
30
