R : Number of rows
C : [optional] Number of columns; By default M = N
k : [int, optional, 0 by default]
          Diagonal we require; k>0 means diagonal above main diagonal or vice versa.
dtype : [optional, float(by Default)] Data type of returned array.  

# Python Programming illustrating
# numpy.eye method
 
import numpy as geek
 
# 2x2 matrix with 1's on main diagonal
b = geek.eye(2, dtype = float)
print("Matrix b : \n", b)
 
# matrix with R=4 C=5 and 1 on diagonal
# below main diagonal
a = geek.eye(4, 5, k = -1)
print("\nMatrix a : \n", a)

Matrix b : 
 [[ 1.  0.]
 [ 0.  1.]]

Matrix a : 
 [[ 0.  0.  0.  0.  0.]
 [ 1.  0.  0.  0.  0.]
 [ 0.  1.  0.  0.  0.]
 [ 0.  0.  1.  0.  0.]]
