Determine Amount of Time to Execute det_by_minor

Syntax
time = time_test(size, time_min)

Purpose
reports the amount of wall clock time for det_by_minor to compute the determinant of a square matrix. The size has prototype
     size_t size
 It specifies the number of rows (and columns) in the square matrix that the determinant is being calculated for.

time_min
The argument time_min has prototype
     double time_min
 It specifies the minimum amount of time in seconds that the test routine should take. The calculations is repeated the necessary number of times so that this amount of execution time (or more) is reached.

time
The return value time has prototype
     double time
 and is the number of wall clock seconds that it took for det_by_minor to compute its determinant (plus overhead which includes choosing a random matrix).
