Added Transpose Matrix in Every Language Article

[DedAvocado]

Articles for transpose matrix.

This is in reference to the PR in TheRenegadeCoder/sample-programs#1952

Looks great! It would be cool if you could come up with a table for testing, so we can see what sort of input/output you're expecting.

[DedAvocado]

Yeah sorry didn't notice the first time. Updated now...

[jrg94]

How is the matrix meant to be input on the command line?

[DedAvocado]

The program asks for the input of m and n to create an m*n matrix and then while entering the values the input line mentions for which i^th and j^th position the user is entering the values.

[jrg94]

Oh I see! Typically, in this repo, we want input to be entered on the command line. For example, if this were a python program, I would expect to be able to do the following: transpose.py ???. Here, ??? would be the input.

I'm not sure what the best way would be to do this, but perhaps you could enter each row as a list:

transpose.py "1, 2, 3" "4, 5, 6"

[DedAvocado]

Yeah depending on the value of m and n in the m*n matrix it will automatically identify.

[jrg94]

Agreed! But, we want the program to pull directly from the command line arguments—not from standard input.

[DedAvocado]

So it will generally be set for a square matrix say 3*3 so the input will consist of 9 numbers

transpose.py 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

[jrg94]

Okay, so this won't work for any size matrix?

[DedAvocado]

It will but it's difficult to say on command line arguments unless the size of the matrix is also given in command line.

[jrg94]

For sure! But, our repo depends on this script to be able to work through the command line. So, there should be some way to represent the input. I'm thinking there are probably two ways:

1. Provide the size and the serialized matrix: program.lang 3 2 "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6"
2. Provide all rows of the matrix separately: `program.lang "1, 2, 3" "4, 5, 6"

Perhaps there are other options that are cleaner.

I think the first option works here. There could be other methods but they dont satisfy the need if variable matrix.

[jrg94]

Perfect! Any chance you can rework the docs to run off this new setup?

[DedAvocado]

Yeah updated the docs. Check if it works?

[jrg94]

Looks great! Just a couple more changes, and we'll be good to go.

[jrg94]

Great! Almost there. Just a couple quick updates.

[DedAvocado]

Updated author.yml file. I think everything is sorted now.

[jrg94]

Whoops! I know I promised we were almost done. This is one last thing.

[jrg94]

What is the error message going to say?

[jrg94]

Ideally it should be consistent like "Usage: please enter the dimension of the matrix and the serialized matrix"

[DedAvocado]

Haha yeah updated it see if it works?

[jrg94]

Woo! 🍡

[DedAvocado]

Hey, thanks for helping me out so much. It was great working with you :)

[DedAvocado]

Also, this happened on the website... even though it is displayed properly in the index.md file

[jrg94]

Yeah, I'm going to take another peek at it and see if I can resolve some of those format issues.

[jrg94]

Alright, I think most of these issues are resolved: https://sample-programs.therenegadecoder.com/projects/transpose-matrix/

[jrg94]

There's still an issue with the title... WHOOPS!

[DedAvocado]

Yeah everything works now ig
