## Write a short comment describing this function
## The following function calculates the inverse of the special "matrix"
## created with the above function.
## However, it first checks to see if the inverse has already been calculated.
## If so, it gets the inverse from the cache and skips the computation.
## Otherwise, it calculates the inverse of the data and sets the value
## of the inverse in the cache via the setsolve function.
cacheSolve <- function(x, ...) {
  m <- x$getsolve()

    message("getting cached data")
    return(m)
  }
  data <- x$get()
  m <- solve(data, ...)
  x$setsolve(m)
  m
