Diagonal Difference

Given a square matrix, calculate the absolute difference between the sums of its diagonals.
For example, the square matrix  is shown below:
1 2 3
4 5 6
9 8 9  
The left-to-right diagonal = . The right to left diagonal = . Their absolute difference is .
Function description
Complete the  function in the editor below. It must return an integer representing the absolute diagonal difference.
diagonalDifference takes the following parameter:
  • arr: an array of integers .
Input Format
The first line contains a single integer, , the number of rows and columns in the matrix .
Each of the next  lines describes a row, , and consists of  space-separated integers .
Constraints
Output Format
Print the absolute difference between the sums of the matrix's two diagonals as a single integer.
Sample Input
3
11 2 4
4 5 6
10 8 -12
Sample Output
15
Explanation
The primary diagonal is:
11
   5
     -12
Sum across the primary diagonal: 11 + 5 - 12 = 4
The secondary diagonal is:
     4
   5
10
Sum across the secondary diagonal: 4 + 5 + 10 = 19
Difference: |4 - 19| = 15
Note: |x| is the absolute value of x
