Program to check if matrix is lower triangular

Difficulty Level : Basic
Last Updated : 26 Apr, 2021

Given a square matrix and the task is to check the matrix is in lower triangular form or not. A square matrix is called lower triangular if all the entries above the main diagonal are zero.

Examples:

Input : mat[4][4] = {{1, 0, 0, 0},
                     {1, 4, 0, 0},
                     {4, 6, 2, 0},
                     {0, 4, 7, 6}};
Output : Matrix is in lower triangular form.

Input : mat[4][4] = {{1, 0, 0, 0},
                     {4, 3, 0, 1},
                     {7, 9, 2, 0},
                     {8, 5, 3, 6}};
Output : Matrix is not in lower triangular form.

C++

        for (int j = i + 1; j < N; j++)
            if (mat[i][j] != 0)
