These are both valid notations for the determinant of a matrix.

$determinant [\begin{array}{c} 0 & - 1 \\ 0 & 1 \end{array}] = | \begin{array}{c} 0 & - 1 \\ 0 & 1 \end{array} |$

The determinant of a $2 \times 2$ matrix can be found using the formula $| \begin{array}{c} a & b \\ c & d \end{array} | = a d - c b$ .
