Determinant
- Enhance your previous exercise of CMatrix by adding a member function
Det()
so that it can calculate the determinant
of a matrix.
- Hint: It will be useful to define a helper function
CMatrix Minor(int i, int j)
to derive the minor of matrix A by eliminating row i and column j from
A. With this function, it becomes straightforward to calculate the
determinant with a recursive formula.
You may test your CMatrix class with the following main program:
int main()
{
int n;
cin >> n;
CMatrix a(n,n);
a.Read();
cout << a.Det() << endl;
return 0;
}
- For the input
2
1 2
3 4
The running result should be
-2
- For the input
3
1 0 0
0 2 0
0 0 3
The result should be
6
