Here's another quiz question: (actually, this one is really tough as far as I can tell, and I don't have a solution.) produce an APL expression that computes the determinant of a matrix. N.B. - I'm looking for an expression, not a function, so looping and recursion are out. I have a (very) partial solution - it works only for non-singular matrices that would never have a zero on the diagonal in a left-to-right series of pivoting operations. Iverson proposed an operator for determining determinants and permanents (sp?) (pigeon?) in a paper a while back, but using that would be cheating. - Greg Johnson U Wis - Madison
