Sum of elements below main diagonal of matrix

Sum of elements below main diagonal of matrix is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.

Task

Find sum of elements below main diagonal of matrix.

The matrix should be square matrix.

Matrix =

   [[1,3,7,8,10],
    [2,4,16,14,4],
    [3,1,9,18,11],
    [12,14,17,18,20],
    [7,1,3,9,5]]

Julia

The tril function is part of Julia's built-in LinearAlgebra package. tril(A) includes the main diagonal and the components of the matrix A to the right and above the main diagonal. tril(A, -1) returns the lower triangular elements of A, which excludes the main diagonal. <lang julia>using LinearAlgebra

A = [ 1 3 7 8 10;

     2  4 16 14  4;
     3  1  9 18 11;
    12 14 17 18 20;
     7  1  3  9  5 ]

@show tril(A)

@show tril(A, -1)

@show sum(tril(A, -1)) # 69

</lang>

Output:

tril(A) = [1 0 0 0 0; 2 4 0 0 0; 3 1 9 0 0; 12 14 17 18 0; 7 1 3 9 5]
tril(A, -1) = [0 0 0 0 0; 2 0 0 0 0; 3 1 0 0 0; 12 14 17 0 0; 7 1 3 9 0]
sum(tril(A, -1)) = 69
