Python Coding challenge - Day 330| What is the output of the following Python Code?

 

Code Explanation:

1. Import the det function:

from scipy.linalg import det

The det function computes the determinant of a square matrix.

It is part of the scipy.linalg module, which provides linear algebra routines.

2. Define the matrix:

matrix = [[1, 2], [3, 4]]

matrix is a 2x2 list of lists representing the matrix:

3. Compute the determinant:

result = det(matrix)

The determinant of a 2x2 matrix is calculated using the formula:

det=(1⋅4)−(2⋅3)=4−6=−2

4. Print the result:

print(result)

This outputs the determinant of the matrix.

Final Output:

-2.0
