Help with System.arrayCopy

[sehudson]

I need some help rewriting the System.arrayCopy portion of this code. Is there any other way to get the same result without using the arrayCopy function?

for (int i = 0; i < mat[0].length; i++) {
int minor[][] = new int[mat.length - 1][mat[0].length - 1];

for (int j = 2; j < mat.length; j++) {
System.arraycopy(mat[j], 0, minor[j - 1], 0, i);
System.arraycopy(mat[j], i + 1, minor[j - 1], i, mat[0].length - i - 1);
}

answer = mat[0][i] * Math.pow(-1, i) * determinant(minor);

}

Not without further details.

ok, I think the System.arrayCopy is creating the minor of my matrixData[][]. So I just wanted another way of getting the same result.

anybody have any ideas?
