issym

issym(A) -> Bool

Test whether a matrix is symmetric.

Examples

  1. Check if a matrix is symmetric:

    julia> A = [1 2 3; 2 4 5; 3 5 6];
    julia> issym(A)
    true

    This example checks if the matrix A is symmetric.

  2. Handle non-symmetric matrices:

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

    It returns false because the matrix B is not symmetric.

  3. Verify symmetry with complex numbers:
    julia> C = [1 2+3im; 2-3im 4];
    julia> issym(C)
    true

    The issym function can handle matrices with complex numbers and still determine if they are symmetric.

Common mistake example:

julia> D = [1 2 3; 4 5 6];
julia> issym(D)
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching issym(::Array{Int64,2})

In this example, the input matrix D is not a square matrix. The issym function can only be used with square matrices. Make sure to provide a square matrix as an argument to issym to avoid such errors.
