Sample Solution:

C Code:

#include <stdio.h>

// In a square matrix, if all the main diagonal elements are 1's and 
// all the remaining elements are 0's, it is called an Identity Matrix.
int main() {
    int arr1[10][10];
    int r1, c1;
    int i, j, yn = 1;

    // Display the purpose of the program
    printf("\n\n Check whether a given matrix is an identity matrix :\n");
    printf("-----------------------------------------------------------\n");   

    // Input the number of Rows for the matrix
    printf("Input number of Rows for the matrix :");
    scanf("%d", &r1);

    // Input the number of Columns for the matrix
    printf("Input number of Columns for the matrix :");
    scanf("%d", &c1);   
	
    // Input elements into the matrix
    printf("Input elements in the matrix :\n");
    for(i = 0; i < r1; i++) {
        for(j = 0; j < c1; j++) {
            printf("element - [%d],[%d] : ", i, j);
            scanf("%d", &arr1[i][j]);
        }
    }    

    // Display the matrix
    printf("The matrix is :\n");
    for(i = 0; i < r1; i++) {
        for(j = 0; j < c1 ;j++) {
            printf("% 4d", arr1[i][j]);
        }
        printf("\n");
    }

    // Check whether the matrix is an identity matrix or not
    for(i = 0; i < r1; i++) {
        for(j = 0; j < c1; j++) {
            if (arr1[i][j] != 1 && arr1[j][i] != 0) {
                yn = 0;
                break;
            }
        }
    }

    // Display the result
    if(yn == 1) {
        printf(" The matrix is an identity matrix.\n\n");
    } else {
        printf(" The matrix is not an identity matrix.\n\n");
    }

    return 0;
}

Sample Output:

 Check whether a given matrix is an identity matrix :
