Find a Square Matrix such that sum of elements in every row and column is K

Last Updated : 28 Mar, 2022

Given two integers N and K, the task is to find an N x N square matrix such that sum of every row and column should be equal to K. Note that there can be multiple such matrices possible. Print any one of them.
Examples:

Input: N = 3, K = 15
Output:
2 7 6
9 5 1
4 3 8
Input: N = 3, K = 7
Output:
7 0 0
0 7 0
0 0 7

Approach: An N x N matrix such that each left diagonal element is equal to K and rest elements are 0 will satisfy the given condition. In this way, the sum of the elements of the each row and column will be equal to K.
Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to print the
// required matrix
void printMatrix(int n, int k)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        for (int j = 0; j < n; j++) {
 
            // Print k for the left
            // diagonal elements
            if (i == j)
                cout << k << " ";
 
            // Print 0 for the rest
            else
                cout << "0 ";
        }
        cout << "\n";
    }
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int n = 3, k = 7;
 
    printMatrix(n, k);
 
    return (0);
}

Java

// Java implementation of the approach
import java.util.*;
 
class GFG
{
 
// Function to print the required matrix
static void printMatrix(int n, int k)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
    {
        for (int j = 0; j < n; j++)
        {
 
            // Print k for the left
            // diagonal elements
            if (i == j)
                System.out.print(k + " ");
 
            // Print 0 for the rest
            else
                System.out.print("0 ");
        }
        System.out.print("\n");
    }
}
 
// Driver code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
    int n = 3, k = 7;
 
    printMatrix(n, k);
}
}

Python3

# Python3 implementation of the approach
 
# Function to print the
# required matrix
def printMatrix(n, k) :
 
    for i in range(n) :
        for j in range(n) :
 
            # Print k for the left
            # diagonal elements
            if (i == j) :
                print(k, end = " ");
 
            # Print 0 for the rest
            else:
                print("0", end = " ");
                 
        print();
 
# Driver code
if __name__ == "__main__" :
 
    n = 3; k = 7;
 
    printMatrix(n, k);

C#

// C# implementation of the approach
using System;
     
class GFG
{
 
// Function to print the required matrix
static void printMatrix(int n, int k)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
    {
        for (int j = 0; j < n; j++)
        {
 
            // Print k for the left
            // diagonal elements
            if (i == j)
                Console.Write(k + " ");
 
            // Print 0 for the rest
            else
                Console.Write("0 ");
        }
        Console.Write("\n");
    }
}
 
// Driver code
public static void Main(String[] args)
{
    int n = 3, k = 7;
 
    printMatrix(n, k);
}
}

<script>
 
// javascript implementation of the approach
 
// Function to print the required matrix
function printMatrix(n , k)
{
    for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
    {
        for (j = 0; j < n; j++)
        {
 
            // Print k for the left
            // diagonal elements
            if (i == j)
                document.write(k + " ");
 
            // Print 0 for the rest
            else
                document.write("0 ");
        }
        document.write("</br>");
    }
}
 
// Driver code
var n = 3, k = 7;
 
printMatrix(n, k);

Output:

7 0 0 
0 7 0 
0 0 7

Time Complexity: O(n²)

Auxiliary Space: O(1)
