Check if the given two matrices are mirror images of one another

Last Updated : 23 Apr, 2021

Given two matrices mat1[][] and mat2[][] of size NxN. The task is to find if the given two matrices are mirror images of one another. Print “Yes” if the given two matrices are mirror images, otherwise print “No”.

Two matrices mat1 and mat2 of size N*N are said to be mirror images of one another if for any valid index (i, j) of the matrix:
mat1[i][j] = mat2[i][N-j-1]

Examples:

Input:
mat1[][] = {{1, 2, 3}, {3, 4, 5}, {6, 7, 8}},
mat2[][] = {{3, 2, 1}, {5, 4, 3}, {8, 7, 6}}
Output: Yes

Input:
mat1 = {{1, 2, 3}, {5, 4, 1}, {6, 7, 2}};
mat2 = {{3, 2, 1}, {5, 4, 1}, {2, 7, 6}};
Output: No

Approach: The approach is based on the observation that a matrix is a mirror image of another only if the elements of each row of the first matrix are equal to the reversed row of elements of the other matrix. Follow the steps below :

Traverse over the matrix mat1[][] row-wise from start to end and over mat2[][] row-wise from end to start.
While traversing, if any element of mat1[][] is found to be not equal to the element at mat2[][], then print “No”
After traversing both the matrices, if all the elements are found to be equal, print “Yes”.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ implementation of
// the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to check whether the
// two matrices are mirror
// of each other
void mirrorMatrix(int mat1[][4],
                  int mat2[][4], int N)
{
    // Initialising row and column of
    // second matrix
    int row = 0;
    int col = 0;
 
    bool isMirrorImage = true;
 
    // Iterating over the matrices
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
 
        // Check row of first matrix with
        // reversed row of second matrix
        for (int j = N - 1; j >= 0; j--) {
 
            // If the element is not equal
            if (mat2[row][col] != mat1[i][j]) {
                isMirrorImage = false;
            }
 
            // Increment column
            col++;
        }
 
        // Reset column to 0
        // for new row
        col = 0;
 
        // Increment row
        row++;
    }
 
    if (isMirrorImage)
        cout << "Yes";
    else
        cout << "No";
}

{
    // Given 2 matrices
    int N = 4;
    int mat1[][4] = { { 1, 2, 3, 4 },
                      { 0, 6, 7, 8 },
                      { 9, 10, 11, 12 },
                      { 13, 14, 15, 16 } };
 
    int mat2[][4] = { { 4, 3, 2, 1 },
                      { 8, 7, 6, 0 },
                      { 12, 11, 10, 9 },
                      { 16, 15, 14, 13 } };
 
    // Function Call
    mirrorMatrix(mat1, mat2, N);
}
