Program to check if a matrix is symmetric

A square matrix is said to be symmetric matrix if the transpose of the matrix is same as the given matrix. Symmetric matrix can be obtain by changing row to column and column to row.

Examples: 

Input : 1 2 3
 2 1 4
 3 4 3
Output : Yes

Input : 3 5 8
 3 4 7
 8 5 3
Output : No

A Simple solution is to do following. 

1. Create transpose of given matrix. 
2. Check if transpose and given matrices are same or not,  

Implementation:

Yes

Time Complexity : O(N x N) 
Auxiliary Space : O(N x N)

An Efficient solution to check a matrix is symmetric or not is to compare matrix elements without creating a transpose. We basically need to compare mat[i][j] with mat[j][i].  

Implementation:

Yes

Time Complexity : O(N x N) 
Auxiliary Space : O(1)
