Let R be a relation on a set that is reflexive and symmetric but not transitive?...

Let R be a relation on a set that is reflexive and symmetric but not transitive? Let R(x) = {y : x R y}. [Note that R(x) is the same as x / R except that R is not an equivalence relation in this case.] Does the set A = {R(x) : x ∈ A} always/sometimes/never form a partition of A? Prove that your answer is correct. Do not prove by examples.

A JAVA program that will read a boolean matrix corresponding to a relation R and output whether R is Reflexive, Symmetric, Anti-Symmetric and/or Transitive.
A JAVA program that will read a boolean matrix corresponding to a relation R and output whether R is Reflexive, Symmetric, Anti-Symmetric and/or Transitive. Input to the program will be the size n of an n x n boolean matrix followed by the matrix elements. Document your program nicely.NOTE: The program must output a reason in the case that an input relation fails to have a certain property.
