C program to read a matrix and print it's diagonals

Output

    First Run:
    Enter number of Rows :2 
    Enter number of Cols :3 

    Enter matrix elements : 
    Enter element [1,1] : 1 
    Enter element [1,2] : 2 
    Enter element [1,3] : 3 
    Enter element [2,1] : 4 
    Enter element [2,2] : 5 
    Enter element [2,3] : 6 

    Matrix is not a Square Matrix.

    Second Run:
    Enter number of Rows :4 
    Enter number of Cols :4 

    Enter matrix elements : 
    Enter element [1,1] : 1 
    Enter element [1,2] : 2 
    Enter element [1,3] : 3 
    Enter element [1,4] : 4 
    Enter element [2,1] : 5 
    Enter element [2,2] : 6 
    Enter element [2,3] : 7 
    Enter element [2,4] : 8 
    Enter element [3,1] : 9 
    Enter element [3,2] : 10 
    Enter element [3,3] : 11 
    Enter element [3,4] : 12 
    Enter element [4,1] : 13 
    Enter element [4,2] : 14 
    Enter element [4,3] : 15 
    Enter element [4,4] : 16
