Problem 1448. Create Volcano (or Atoll) martix. It is an extension of Bullseye matrix problem.

For example, if n=2 (maximum value), the output matrix should be

 [1 1 1 1 1;
  1 2 2 2 1;
  1 2 1 2 1;
  1 2 2 2 1;
  1 1 1 1 1]

where you go from inside to outside starting from 1 to 2(maximum value) and again move back from 2 to 1.

You should call this a volcano matrix!

Could also be named an Atoll matrix

Thanks Ned, Richard for good suggestion. I have changed Problem Title accordingly.
