Let $J \in M_{n}(\mathbb{C})$ be the matrix defined by
$$J = \left( \begin{array}{ccccc} 0 & 1 & 0 & \ldots & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & \cdots & 0 \\ \vdots & \ddots & \ddots & \ddots & \vdots \\ \vdots & & \ddots & 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 & \ldots & 0 & 0 \end{array} \right).$$
Calculate $J^{n}$ and show that $J$ is diagonalisable.
