CodeWars里的4kyu题目Matrix Determinant
题目说明:
Description:
Write a function that accepts a square matrix (N x N 2D array) and returns the determinant of the matrix.
How to take the determinant of a matrix – it is simplest to start with the smallest cases:
A 1x1 matrix |a| has determinant a.
A 2x2 matrix [ [a, b], [c, d] ] or
|a b|
|c d|
has determinant: ad - bc.
The determinant of an n x n sized matrix is calculated by reducing the problem to the calculation of the determinants of n matrices ofn-1 x n-1 size.
For the 3x3 case, [ [a, b, c], [d, e, f], [g, h, i] ] or
|a b c|
|d e f|
|g h i|
the determinant is: a * det(a_minor) - b * det(b_minor) + c * det(c_minor) where det(a_minor) refers to taking the determinant of the 2x2 matrix created by crossing out the row and col
