Toeplitz Matrix
Explore how to determine whether a matrix is a Toeplitz matrix by checking that each diagonal from top-left to bottom-right contains identical elements. Learn to efficiently solve this problem, even with memory constraints, by mastering matrix traversal techniques and applying logical checks in coding interviews.

Statement
Given an matrix, determine whether it is a Toeplitz matrix. Return TRUE if it is, otherwise return FALSE.
A matrix is considered Toeplitz if every diagonal running from the top left to the bottom right contains identical elements. In other words, for every cell matrix[i][j], if both i + 1 and j + 1 are within bounds, then matrix[i][j] must equal matrix[i+1][j+1].
