Kayode week 17- Symmetric Matrix

Symmetric Matrix

Have the function SymmetricMatrix(strArr) read strArr which will be an array of integers represented as strings. Within the array there will also be "<>" elements which represent break points. The array will make up a matrix where the (number of break points + 1) represents the number of rows. Here is an example of how strArr may look: ["1","0","1","<>","0","1","0","<>","1","0","1"]. There are two "<>", so 2 + 1 = 3. Therefore there will be three rows in the array and the contents will be row1=[1 0 1], row2=[0 1 0] and row3=[1 0 1]. Your program should take the given array of elements, create the proper matrix, and then determine whether the matrix is symmetric, in other words, if matrix M is equal to M transpose. If it is, return the string symmetric and if it isn't return the string not symmetric. A matrix may or may not be a square matrix and if this is the case you should return the string not possible. For the example above, your program should return symmetric.

Examples
Input: ["5","0","<>","0","5"]
Output: symmetric

Input: ["1","2","4","<>","2","1","1","<>","-4","1","-1"]
Output: not symmetric
