isdiag

isdiag(A) -> Bool

Test whether a matrix is diagonal.

Examples

  1. Check if a matrix is diagonal:

    julia> A = [1 0 0; 0 2 0; 0 0 3];
    julia> isdiag(A)
    true

    This example checks if the matrix A is diagonal. In this case, it returns true because all the off-diagonal elements are zero.

  2. Handle non-diagonal matrices:

    julia> B = [1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9];
    julia> isdiag(B)
    false

    It returns false because the matrix B has non-zero elements outside the diagonal.

  3. Check if a square matrix is empty:
    julia> C = zeros(0, 0);
    julia> isdiag(C)
    true

    It correctly handles the case when the square matrix C is empty, and returns true since there are no off-diagonal elements to consider.

Common mistake example:

julia> D = [1 0; 0 2; 0 0];
julia> isdiag(D)
ERROR: DimensionMismatch("matrix must be square")

In this example, the matrix D provided is not square, resulting in a DimensionMismatch error. Ensure that the matrix passed to isdiag is a square matrix to avoid this error.
