Given a square matrix of size N by N, calculate the sums of its diagonals. There are two diagonals in each array.

def get_sum_of_diagonals(mat):
    sd1 = 0
    sd2 = 0
    for i in range(0, len(mat)):
        for j in range(0, len(mat)):
            if (i == j):
                sd1 += mat[i][j]
            if ((i + j) == (len(mat)-1)):
                sd2 += mat[i][j]
    return sd1+sd2

mat = [[1,2,9],[4,5,6],[18,8,12]]
print(get_sum_of_diagonals(mat))
Output
