Java Program to Check if it is a Sparse Matrix

This is the java program to find out a given matrix is sparse matrix or not. Sparse matrix contains zero elements above a certain threshold. This threshold is given by (n*m)/2, where n and m are the rows and columns in matrix. Hence, if a matrix contains more than nm/2 mumber of zeros it is sparse matrix otherwise not.

Here is the source code of the Java Program to Check if it is a Sparse Matrix. The Java program is successfully compiled and run on a Windows system. The program output is also shown below.

//This is a sample program to check whether the matrix is sparse matrix or not

```
//The complexity of the code is O(n^2)
```
```
import java.util.Scanner;
```
```
 
```
```
public class Sparsity_Matrix 
```
```
{
```

    public static void main(String args[])

```
    {
```

        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

        System.out.println("Enter the dimensions of the matrix: ");

```
        int m = sc.nextInt();
```
```
        int n = sc.nextInt();
```

        double[][] mat = new double[m][n];

```
        int zeros = 0;
```

        System.out.println("Enter the elements of the matrix: ");

```
        for(int i=0; i<m; i++)
```
```
        {
```
```
            for(int j=0; j<n; j++)
```
```
            {
```

                mat[i][j] = sc.nextDouble();

```
                if(mat[i][j] == 0)
```
```
                {
```
```
                    zeros++;
```
```
                }
```
```
            }
```
```
        }
```
```
 
```
```
        if(zeros > (m*n)/2)
```
```
        {
```

            System.out.println("The matrix is a sparse matrix");

```
        }
```
```
        else
```
```
        {
```

            System.out.println("The matrix is not a sparse matrix");

```
        }
```
```
 
```
```
        sc.close();
```
```
    }
```
```
}
```

Output:

$ javac Sparsity_matrix.java
$ java Sparsity_matrix
Enter the dimensions of the matrix: 
2 3
Enter the elements of the matrix: 
1 0 0
2 1 1
The matrix is not a sparse matrix
