PROGRAM EXPLANATION
Algorithm and explanation
- Initialize the sample values used to find a 2 by 2 determinant.
- Apply Determinant and Matrix to compute the required result.
- Display the result for find a 2 by 2 determinant and compare it with the documented sample output.
This example of find a 2 by 2 determinant computes the result directly from the prepared sample data. It demonstrates Determinant and Matrix and prints a deterministic result that can be checked against the sample output.

Common mistakes
For find a 2 by 2 determinant, keep the data shape and value types consistent with Determinant.
Apply Determinant in the same order shown by the algorithm; changing the order can change the result.
Verify the final Determinant and Matrix result against the sample before trying new data.
