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,
C++
// Simple c++ code for check a matrix is // symmetric or not. #include <iostream> using namespace std; const int MAX = 100; // Fills transpose of mat[N][N] in tr[N][N] void transpose( int mat[][MAX], int tr[][MAX], int N) { for ( int i = 0; i < N; i++) for ( int j = 0; j < N; j++) tr[i][j] = mat[j][i]; } // Returns true if mat[N][N] is symmetric, else false bool isSymmetric( int mat[][MAX], int N) { int tr[N][MAX]; transpose(mat, tr, N); for ( int i = 0; i < N; i++) for ( int j = 0; j < N; j++) if (mat[i][j] != tr[i][j]) return false ; return true ; } // Driver code int main() { int mat[][MAX] = { { 1, 3, 5 }, { 3, 2, 4 }, { 5, 4, 1 } }; if (isSymmetric(mat, 3)) cout << "Yes" ; else cout << "No" ; return 0; } |
Java
// Simple java code for check a matrix is // symmetric or not. import java.io.*; class GFG { static int MAX = 100 ; // Fills transpose of mat[N][N] in tr[N][N] static void transpose( int mat[][], int tr[][], int N) { for ( int i = 0 ; i < N; i++) for ( int j = 0 ; j < N; j++) tr[i][j] = mat[j][i]; } // Returns true if mat[N][N] is symmetric, else false static boolean isSymmetric( int mat[][], int N) { int tr[][] = new int [N][MAX]; transpose(mat, tr, N); for ( int i = 0 ; i < N; i++) for ( int j = 0 ; j < N; j++) if (mat[i][j] != tr[i][j]) return false ; return true ; } // Driver code public static void main (String[] args) { int mat[][] = { { 1 , 3 , 5 }, { 3 , 2 , 4 }, { 5 , 4 , 1 } }; if (isSymmetric(mat, 3 )) System.out.println( "Yes" ); else System.out.println ( "No" ); } } |

Output :
Yes

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].
C++
// Efficient c++ code for check a matrix is // symmetric or not. #include <iostream> using namespace std; const int MAX = 100; // Returns true if mat[N][N] is symmetric, else false bool isSymmetric( int mat[][MAX], int N) { for ( int i = 0; i < N; i++) for ( int j = 0; j < N; j++) if (mat[i][j] != mat[j][i]) return false ; return true ; } // Driver code int main() { int mat[][MAX] = { { 1, 3, 5 }, { 3, 2, 4 }, { 5, 4, 1 } }; if (isSymmetric(mat, 3)) cout << "Yes" ; else cout << "No" ; return 0; } |
