A square matrix is said to be symmetric matrix if the transpose of the matrix is same as the given matrix. Symmetric matrix can be obtain by changing row to column and column to row.
Examples:
Input : 1 2 3
2 1 4
3 4 3
Output : Yes
Input : 3 5 8
3 4 7
8 5 3
Output : No
A Simple solution is to do following.
1) Create transpose of given matrix.
2) Check if transpose and given matrices are same or not.
Javascript
<script> // Simple javascript code for check // a matrix is symmetric or not. let MAX = 100; // Fills transpose of mat[N][N] in tr[N][N] function transpose(mat, tr, N) { for(let i = 0; i < N; i++) for(let j = 0; j < N; j++) tr[i][j] = mat[j][i]; } // Returns true if mat[N][N] is // symmetric, else false function isSymmetric(mat, N) { let tr = new Array(N); for(let i = 0; i < N; i++) { tr[i] = new Array(MAX); } transpose(mat, tr, N); for(let i = 0; i < N; i++) for(let j = 0; j < N; j++) if (mat[i][j] != tr[i][j]) return false; return true; } // Driver code let mat = [ [ 1, 3, 5 ], [ 3, 2, 4 ], [ 5, 4, 1 ] ]; if (isSymmetric(mat, 3)) document.write("Yes"); else document.write("No"); // This code is contributed by decode2207 </script> |
Output :
Yes
Time Complexity : O(N x N)
Auxiliary Space : O(N x N)
An Efficient solution to check a matrix is symmetric or not is to compare matrix elements without creating a transpose. We basically need to compare mat[i][j] with mat[j][i].
Javascript
<script> // Efficient Javascript code for check a matrix is symmetric or no let MAX = 100; // Returns true if mat[N][N] // is symmetric, else false function isSymmetric(mat, N) { for (let i = 0; i < N; i++) for (let j = 0; j < N; j++) if (mat[i][j] != mat[j][i]) return false; return true; } let mat = [ [ 1, 3, 5 ], [ 3, 2, 4 ], [ 5, 4, 1 ] ]; if (isSymmetric(mat, 3)) document.write( "Yes"); else document.write("NO"); </script> |
Output:
Yes
Time Complexity : O(N x N)
Auxiliary Space : O(1)
