det

det(M)

Matrix determinant

Examples

Calculate the determinant of a 2x2 matrix:
```
julia> M = [1 2; 3 4];
julia> det(M)
-2.0
```
This example calculates the determinant of the 2x2 matrix M.
Compute the determinant of a 3x3 matrix:
```
julia> M = [1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9];
julia> det(M)
0.0
```
It calculates the determinant of the 3x3 matrix M.
Handle non-square matrices:
```
julia> M = [1 2 3; 4 5 6];
julia> det(M)
ERROR: LinearAlgebra.SingularException(2)
```
In this example, the function throws a SingularException because the matrix M is not square. The determinant can only be calculated for square matrices.

Common mistake example:

julia> M = [1 2; 3 4; 5 6];
julia> det(M)
ERROR: DimensionMismatch("matrix must be square")

Here, the mistake is providing a non-square matrix as input to the det function. Ensure that the matrix passed to det is square (same number of rows and columns) to avoid this error.
