NAME
mattrace - trace of a square matrix
SYNOPSIS
mattrace(m)
TYPES
m square matrix with summable diagonal elements
return determined by addition of elements
DESCRIPTION
For a two-dimensional square matrix, mattrace(m) returns the sum of
the elements on the principal diagonal. In particular, if m
has been created by mat m[N,N] where N > 0, mattrace(m) returns
m[0,0] + m{1,1] + ... + m[N-1,N-1]
EXAMPLE
> mat m[2,2] = {1,2,3,4}
> print mattrace(m), mattrace(m^2)
