Using C++ and Linked-List

Write a program that takes the user console input of a sparse matrix,

check if matrix is square like 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, ...,

find the determinant recursively and print the answer

cannot use 2D array

cannot allocate zero valued entries to memory

so a linked list would only store row, column, and value of all non-zero values of the matrix

use the formula to find the determinant

for any j

Example of user entered inputs below

"input is separated by space(column) and enter key to follow the next line(row)"

Input 1:

1 2 3

4 5 6

Output 1:

Error! This is not a square matrix

Input 2:

1 0 2

-1 0 -1

0 1 0

Output 2:

The matrix determinant is: -1

numkows- det = ((-1)'+) *ali, j] * det(Minor(ali, j))) 0
