Determining Determinants

CodeChefOpen on judge ↗

Consider a k x k matrix M with entries as the following: - M(i, i) = 1 (Diagonal is all 1s) - M(i, i+1) = 1 (Diagonal just above the main diagonal is all 1s) - M(i, i-1) = -1 (Diagonal just below the main diagonal is all -1s) - All the other elements of M are 0 Example for k = 4 would be: 1 1 0 0 -1 1 1 0 0 -1 1 1 0 0 -1 1 We denote the determinant of such a k x k matrix as D(k). We have to
