Upper Triangular Matrix in C

This is a program to display upper triangular matrix.

Problem Description

This C Program displays the upper triangular matrix.

Problem Solution

1. Create a matrix and define its elements.
2. To print the elements at upper triangle, run a nested for loop with two iterators(i and j) but print only those elements which have index i(row index) greater or equal to j(column index).

Program/Source Code

Here is source code of the C Program to display upper triangular matrix. The program is successfully compiled and tested using Turbo C compiler in windows environment. The program output is also shown below.

Program Explanation

1. Declare a matrix of some fixed capacity, take its order as input from users and define the elements of the matrix.
2. Again start a nested for loop with two iterators i and j. i keeping track of row and j keeping track of column.
3. Put a condition inside this loop, if value of i(row) is greater than or equal to j(column), only then the element having index i and j belongs to upper triangle, print it, else continue with the loop.

Runtime Test Cases

Enter the r and c value:3 3
array[1][1] = 1 1 1
array[1][2] = array[1][3] = array[2][1] = 1 1 0
array[2][2] = array[2][3] = array[3][1] = 2 0 0
array[3][2] = array[3][3] = matrix is
