###Caching the Inverse of a Matrix

Matrix inversion is usually a costly computation and there may be some benefit to caching the inverse of a matrix rather than computing it repeatedly (there are also alternatives to matrix inversion that we will not discuss here). Computing the inverse of a square matrix can be done with the solve function in R. For example, if X is a square invertible matrix, then solve(X) returns its inverse. For our purposes, we assume that the matrix supplied is always invertible.

The cachematrix.R script defines a pair of functions that efficiently work with a matrix inverse and cache. The functions are as follows:

  1. makeCacheMatrix: This function creates a special "matrix" object that can cache its inverse.

  2. cacheSolve: This function computes the inverse of the special "matrix" returned by makeCacheMatrix above. If the inverse has already been calculated (and the matrix has not changed), then cacheSolve should retrieve the inverse from the cache.
