In the previous article, we have discussed Python Program to Find the Sum of an Upper Triangular Matrix<\/a><\/p>\n

Given a matrix and the task is to find the sum of the lower triangular matrix of the given matrix in Python.<\/p>\n

What is a matrix:<\/strong><\/p>\n

A matrix is a rectangular sequence of numbers divided into columns and rows. A matrix element or entry is a number that appears in a matrix.<\/p>\n

Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Above is the matrix which contains 5 rows and 4 columns and having elements from 1 to 20.<\/p>\n

In this order, the dimensions of a matrix indicate the number of rows and columns.<\/p>\n

Here as there are 5 rows and 4 columns it is called a 5*4 matrix.<\/p>\n

Lower Triangular Matrix:<\/strong><\/p>\n

A lower triangular matrix is one that has all of its upper triangular elements equal to zero. In other words, all non-zero elements are on the main diagonal or in the lower triangle.<\/p>\n

Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Example1:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Input:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Given Matix :\r\n1 6 4 \r\n8 1 3\r\n1 6 2<\/pre>\n

Output:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The sum of Lower Triangular matrix of the given matrix is :\r\n13<\/pre>\n

Example2:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Input:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Given Matix :\r\n7 9 \r\n3 6<\/pre>\n

Output:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The sum of Lower Triangular matrix of the given matrix is :\r\n9<\/pre>\n

Program to Find the Sum of a Lower Triangular Matrix in Python<\/h2>\n

Below are the ways to find the sum of the lower triangular matrix of the given matrix in Python.<\/p>\n
