Matrix inversion is usually a costly computation and there may be some benefit to caching the inverse of a matrix rather than computing it repeatedly. This repository contains a pair of functions that cache the inverse of a matrix.
The repository contains the following functions:
makeCacheMatrix
: This function creates a special "matrix" object that can cache its inverse.cacheSolve
: This function computes the inverse of the special "matrix" returned bymakeCacheMatrix
above. If the inverse has already been calculated (and the matrix has not changed), thencacheSolve
should retrieve the inverse from the cache.
The inverse of a square matrix is computed with the solve
function in R.
