The following calculator allows you to calculate the determinant for a 2×2 matrix. Enter the values into the matrix and then press "calc det ->" to display the result:

Code

   // assumes matrix indices start from 0 (0 and 1)
   public double determinant() {
      double value =
      m00 * m11 - m01 * m10;
      return value;
   }
