+ * Given a square matrix, find its determinant using Laplace Expansion.
+ * Time Complexity : O(n!)
+ *
+ * For more info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Determinant
+ *
+ * @param {number[[]]} matrix - Two dimensional array of integers.
+ * @returns {number} - An integer equal to the determinant.
+ *
+ * @example
+ * const squareMatrix = [

+ *                      ];

+ * const result = determinant(squareMatrix);
+ * // The function should return 858 as the resultant determinant.
