[Solved] Understanding of a specific function Determinant of a Matrix [closed]

Question

This is an algorithm which uses Lapace expansions, which recursively computes the determinant of an n x n matrix by computing n determinants of (n-1) x (n-1) subminors. The determinant of the 2 x 2 matrix should be obvious.

There are better ways to do that, like LU decomposition.
