Is coordinate logic useful beyond terminal patterns?
Yes, identifying diagonals and boundaries using coordinates is required for solving matrix problems like the N-Queens problem or Tic-Tac-Toe validation.

The boundaries are the first column (col == 1), the last row (row == N), and the diagonal edge where the column index equals the row index (col == row).
Assuming 1-based indexing, the anti-diagonal occurs where the sum of the row and column coordinates equals N + 1.
Because we only want to evaluate the coordinate space that actually exists inside the triangle boundary. Evaluating the full N x N grid would require unnecessary blank space calculations.
