Write a method checks if a given matrix is a unit matrix. An N x N unit matrix is a matrix of N rows and N columns where all the diagonal elements are ‘1’s and all the remaining elements are ‘0’s. The method should take a 2D array of integers as argument and return a Boolean which is true/false depending on whether the matrix corresponding to the 2D array is a unit matrix or not. Test the method in the ‘main’ method.

Question
  1. Write a method checks if a given matrix is a unit matrix. An N x N unit matrix is a matrix of N rows and N columns where all the diagonal elements are ‘1’s and all the remaining elements are ‘0’s. The method should take a 2D array of integers as argument and return a Boolean which is true/false depending on whether the matrix corresponding to the 2D array is a unit matrix or not. Test the method in the ‘main’ method.

For problems asking for 'methods', you need to write the method, and the 'main' method which is used as a 'driver' to test the given method.

Answer

JAVA CODE: 

public class Main {
public static boolean checkUnitMatrix(int arr [][]){
boolean flag = true;
int rows, cols;
rows = arr.length; //finding the number of rows
cols = arr[0].length; //finding the number of columns
for(int i = 0; i < rows; i++)
{
for(int j = 0; j < cols; j++)
{
if(i == j && arr[i][j] != 1){ //checking diagonal elements
flag = false;
break;
}
if(i != j && arr[i][j] != 0){ //checking elements other than diagonal elements
flag = false;
break;
}
}
}
return flag; //returning the flag value
}
public static void main(String[] args) { //main method
int matrix1[][] = {{1, 0, 0},
{0, 1, 0},
{0, 0, 1}};
int matrix2[][] = {{1, 0, 1},
{1, 0, 0},
{0, 1, 1}};
//printing the result
System.out.println("Matrix1 status for Unit Matrix is: " + checkUnitMatrix(matrix1));
System.out.println("Matrix2 status for Unit Matrix is: " + checkUnitMatrix(matrix2));
}
}
