Given an integer n, make an n-by-n matrix as shown below. The a(1,1) should be 0. As we move away from the top-left, the number increase by 1, until we hit a diagonal, where all the elements are (n-1) along the diagonal. After passing diagonal, the number increases by 1 each time.This is a follow-up question to Cody Challenge CheckerBoard Problem at <a href = "https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/cody/problems/4-make-a-checkerboard-matrix">https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/cody/problems/4-make-a-checkerboard-matrix</a>For n=10<pre> Input n = 10
