# 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 . 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). ## Setup There are two different methods of getting set up to run the tests with Objective-C: - Create an Xcode project with a test target which will run the tests. - Use the ruby gem `objc` as a test runner utility. Both are described in more detail here: http://exercism.io/languages/objective-c ### Submitting Exercises When submitting an exercise, make sure your solution file is in the same directory as the test code. The submit command will look something like: ```shell exercism submit /objective-c/transpose/Transpose.m ``` You can find the Exercism workspace by running `exercism debug` and looking for the line beginning with Workspace. ## Source Reddit r/dailyprogrammer challenge #270 [Easy].
