# Constructing NxN tridiagonal block diagonal matrix with N is a variable [closed]

Hi please can someone help me writing a program of generating a tridiagonal block matrix with dimension of NxN where N is a variable can be 50, 100, 200, 300...etc , Well I don't know how I'm a beginner. THANK YOU ANYWAY!

My matrix is in the photos

• You can get a diagonal matrix with IdentityMatrix[n]. For the rest, improve your question and formatting. Aug 6 at 17:51
• If you search the built-in help center for "tridiagonal", the first hit shows how and points you to SparseArray, whose documentation page also shows how to construct a tridiagonal matrix. Aug 6 at 20:08
