write a function that does the following calculation on an input: --if the input is a square matrix square, output the determinant in matlab

Here's a function that calculates the determinant of a square matrix in Matlab:

main.m
function det = calcDeterminant(matrix)
    % Check if the matrix is square
    [nRows, nCols] = size(matrix);
    if nRows ~= nCols
        error('The input matrix must be square!');
    end

    % Calculate the determinant
    det = det(matrix);
end
251 chars
11 lines

You can call this function by passing in a square matrix as the input:

main.m
% Example usage
matrix = [1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9];
det = calcDeterminant(matrix);
disp(det);
90 chars
5 lines

This will output the determinant of the matrix.
