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.

Implementation:

C++




// Program to check lower
// triangular matrix.
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
#define N 4
using namespace std;
  
// Function to check matrix is in 
// lower triangular form or not.
bool isLowerTriangularMatrix(int mat[N][N])
{
    for (int i = 0; i < N-1; i++)
        for (int j = i + 1; j < N; j++)
            if (mat[i][j] != 0)
                return false;
    return true;
}
  
// Driver function.
int main()
{
    int mat[N][N] = { { 1, 0, 0, 0 },
                      { 1, 4, 0, 0 },
                      { 4, 6, 2, 0 },
                      { 0, 4, 7, 6 } };
  
    // Function call
    if (isLowerTriangularMatrix(mat))
        cout << "Yes";
    else
        cout << "No";
    return 0;
}

    boolean isLowerTriangularMatrix(int mat[][])
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < N-1; i++)
            for (int j = i + 1; j < N; j++)
                if (mat[i][j] != 0)
                    return false;

                        { 4, 6, 2, 0 },
                        { 0, 4, 7, 6 } };
                          
        // Function call
        if (ob.isLowerTriangularMatrix(mat))
            System.out.println("Yes");
        else

Output

Yes

Time Complexity: O(n2), where n represents the number of rows and columns of the matrix.
Auxiliary Space: O(1), no extra space is required, so it is a constant.
