#REFLECTION

=begin

I had accidentally done most of the work for this exercise while working on the
previous one, so it was a matter of expansing upon existing code.

I knew that the get_all_rows method needed a join method to create separate words,
but it took me a couple of tries to figure out exactly where to put it.

What I had most trouble with was getting all the cols to print.
I came up with a crude solution that may not the best, but it got the job done.

I've yet to implement the get_diagonal method.
