Here is the 4×4 unit matrix:

%28matrix%284%2C4%2C1%2C1%2C1%2C1%2C1%2C1%2C1%2C1%2C1%2C1%2C1%2C1%2C1%2C1%2C1%2C1%29%29

Here is the 4×4 identity matrix:

%28matrix%284%2C4%2C1%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C1%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C1%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C1%29%29

A unit matrix is a square matrix all of whose elements are 1's.

An identity matrix is a square matrix whose upper left to lower
right diagonal elements are 1's and all the other elements
are 0's.
