Show that if $E$ is a projection on a finite dimensional vector space, then there exists a basis $B$ such that the matrix $(e_{ij})$ of $E$ with respect to $B$ has the following special form: $e_{ij}= 0$ or $1$ for all $i$ and $j$, and $e_{ij}=0$ if $i\neq j$.
I seem to be having some difficulty understand this question. I could use a little help in the right direction.
