everyone seems to ahve used cramers rule. much simpler than gaussian and numerically and complexity wise fine for 2x2 system

Quadratic equations are very useful

til about if expressions

Look at it carefully...its not a special lambda syntax. Its just normal arithmetic and logical expressions

oh wait, this is not a lambda, just normal arithmetic/logicla expressions...clever

I love lambdas

I love how you overrode the function definition itself.

Yeah basically did the last byte savings with lambda, though didn't do math tricks

Yeah its nice to see implementations not following the naive O(n!) approach

You used a scipy library function for LU factoring. I just directly implemented the Gaussian elimination, O(n^3). The LU implementation probably also does the same.

Gaussian elimination is probably overkill for the problem sizes here, but it avoids the irritation of copying submatrices for the determinant minors. And for practical size matrices its O(n^3) performance is tablestakes compared to the O(n!) naive approach.

The point of these puzzles is to practice the implementation

This one times out for me. I had to add a test to break the loop when the new term equals 0.0

Holy mother of god, I hope you generated the program via another program
