Sum of upper triangle and lower triangle in C++
In this problem, we are given a matrix. Our task is to create a program to print the sum of upper triangle and lower triangle.
Lower triangle
M00 0 0 … 0 M10 M11 0 … 0 M20 M21 M22 … 0 … Mrow0 Mrow1 Mrow2 … Mrow col
Upper triangle
M00 M01 M02 … M0col 0 M11 M12 … M1col 0 0 M22 … M2col … 0 0 0 … Mrow col
Let’s take an example to understand the problem,
Input: {{5, 1, 6}
{8, 2, 0}
{3, 7, 4}}
Output: upper triangle sum = 18
lower triangle sum = 29
Explanation:
Sum of upper triangle sum = 5 + 1 + 6 + 2 + 0 + 4 = 18
Sum of lower triangle sum = 5 + 8 + 2 + 3 + 7 + 4 = 29A simple solution to this problem. We will use loop to traverse the array in the upper triangular elements and lower triangular elements. The calculate the sum in two separate variables, lSum and uSum.
Example
Program to illustrate the working of our solution,
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int row = 3;
int col = 3;
void sum(int mat[3][3]) {
int i, j;
int uSum = 0;
int lSum = 0;
for (i = 0; i < row; i++)
for (j = 0; j < col; j++) {
if (i <= j) {
uSum += mat[i][j];
}
}
cout<<"Sum of the upper triangle is "<<uSum<<endl;
for (i = 0; i < row; i++)
for (j = 0; j < col; j++) {
if (j <= i) {
lSum += mat[i][j];
}
}
cout<<"Sum of the lower triangle is "<<lSum<<endl;
}
int main() {
int mat[3][3] = { { 5, 1, 6 },
{ 8, 2, 0 },
{ 3, 7, 4 }};
sum(mat);
return 0;
}Output
Sum of the upper triangle is 18 Sum of the lower triangle is 29
