function C = cofactor(A, i, j)

% cofactor  Matrix of cofactors.

% C = cofactor(A) returns the matrix of cofactors of A.
% If A is invertible, then inv(A) = C' / det(A).
%
% C = cofactor(A, i, j) returns the cofactor of 
% row i, column j of A.

if nargin == 3
% Remove row i and column j to produce the minor.
