# Transpose
Given an input text output it transposed.
Roughly explained, the transpose of a matrix:
```text
ABC
DEF
```
is given by:
```text
AD
BE
CF
```
Rows become columns and columns become rows. See <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transpose>.
If the input has rows of different lengths, this is to be solved as follows:
- Pad to the left with spaces.
- Don't pad to the right.
Therefore, transposing this matrix:
```text
ABC
DE
```
results in:
```text
AD
BE
C
```
And transposing:
```text
AB
DEF
```
results in:
```text
AD
BE
F
```
In general, all characters from the input should also be present in the transposed output.
That means that if a column in the input text contains only spaces on its bottom-most row(s),
the corresponding output row should contain the spaces in its right-most column(s).

For running the tests provided, you will need the Minitest gem. Open a
terminal window and run the following command to install minitest:
gem install minitest
If you would like color output, you can `require 'minitest/pride'` in
the test file, or note the alternative instruction, below, for running
the test file.
Run the tests from the exercise directory using the following command:
ruby transpose_test.rb
To include color from the command line:
ruby -r minitest/pride transpose_test.rb
