Lintcode 1042. Toeplitz Matrix (Easy) (Python)

Toeplitz Matrix

Description:

A matrix is Toeplitz if every diagonal from top-left to bottom-right has the same element.

Now given an M x N matrix, return True if and only if the matrix is Toeplitz.

Example
Example 1:

Input: matrix = [[1,2,3,4],[5,1,2,3],[9,5,1,2]]
Output: True
Explanation:
1234
5123
9512

In the above grid, the diagonals are “[9]”, “[5, 5]”, “[1, 1, 1]”, “[2, 2, 2]”, “[3, 3]”, “[4]”, and in each diagonal all elements are the same, so the answer is True.

Example 2:

Input: matrix = [[1,2],[2,2]]
Output: False
Explanation:
The diagonal “[1, 2]” has different elements.

Code:

class Solution:
    """
    @param matrix: the given matrix
    @return: True if and only if the matrix is Toeplitz
    """
    def isToeplitzMatrix(self, matrix):
        # Write your code here
        for i in range(len(matrix)):
            for j in range(len(matrix[0])):
                if i-1>=0 and j-1>=0 and matrix[i][j] != matrix[i-1][j-1]:
                    return False
        return True
