Given an NxN matrix. The task is to check if after reversing all the rows of the given Matrix, the matrix remains the same or not.

Examples:  

Input : N = 3
1 2 1
2 2 2
3 4 3 
Output : Yes 
If all the rows are reversed then matrix will become:
1 2 1
2 2 2
3 4 3 
which is same.

Input : N = 3
1 2 2
2 2 2
3 4 3
Output : No 

Approach:  

  1. A most important observation is for the matrix to be the same after row reversals, each single row must be palindromic.
  2. Now to check if a row is palindromic, maintain two pointers, one pointing to start and the other to the end of row. Start comparing the values present and do start++ and end–. Repeat the process until all elements are checked till the middle of the row. If at each step elements are the same, then the row is palindromic otherwise not.
  3. If any of the Row is not palindromic then the answer is No.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:  

C++




// C++ implementation of the above approach
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
#define ll long long int
using namespace std;
 
// Function to check Palindromic Condition
void specialMatrix(int matrix[3][3], int N)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
 
        // Pointer to start of row
        int start = 0;
 
        // Pointer to end of row
        int end = N - 1;
 
        while (start <= end) {
 
            // Single Mismatch means row is not palindromic
            if (matrix[i][start] != matrix[i][end]) {
                cout << "No" << endl;
                return;
            }
 
            start++;
            end--;
        }
    }
 
    cout << "Yes" << endl;
    return;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int matrix[3][3] = { { 1, 2, 1 },
                         { 2, 2, 2 },
                         { 3, 4, 3 } };
    int N = 3;
    specialMatrix(matrix, N);
 
    return 0;
}


Java




// Java implementation of the above approach
class GFG
{
 
// Function to check Palindromic Condition
static void specialMatrix(int matrix[][], int N)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)
    {
 
        // Pointer to start of row
        int start = 0;
 
        // Pointer to end of row
        int end = N - 1;
 
        while (start <= end)
        {
 
            // Single Mismatch means
            // row is not palindromic
            if (matrix[i][start] != matrix[i][end])
            {
                System.out.println("No");
                return;
            }
 
            start++;
            end--;
        }
    }
 
    System.out.println("Yes");
    return;
}
 
// Driver Code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
    int matrix[][] = { { 1, 2, 1 },
                        { 2, 2, 2 },
                        { 3, 4, 3 } };
    int N = 3;
    specialMatrix(matrix, N);
}
}
