Laboratory Exercise

Matrices
Objectives:
At the end of the exercise, the students should be able to:

Use matrices in developing an application

Materials:

Computer with pre-installed Window 7 operating system and JDK

JCreator
Flash Drive

Procedures:
Using Matrices

1. Write a program that will read an n x n matrix into a two-dimensional array A and then,
determine which, if any, of the following special cases the matrix falls into:
Symmetric:

A[i][j] = A[j][i]

for all i and j

Diagonal:

A[i][j] = 0

whenever i and j are different

Upper Triangular:

A[i][j] = 0

whenever i < j

Lower Triangular:

A[i][j] = 0

whenever i > j
