In ActionScript, multi-dimensional arrays are created by making an "Array of arrays" where each element is an array. <lang ActionScript>function transpose( m:Array):Array { //Assume each element in m is an array. (If this were production code, use typeof to be sure)

//Each element in m is a row, so this gets the length of a row in m, //which is the same as the number of rows in m transpose. var mTranspose = new Array(m[0].length); for(var i:uint = 0; i < mTranspose.length; i++) {

               //create a row

mTranspose[i] = new Array(m.length);

               //set the row to the appropriate values

for(var j:uint = 0; j < mTranspose[i].length; j++) mTranspose[i][j] = m[j][i]; } return mTranspose; } var m:Array = [[1, 2, 3, 10], [4, 5, 6, 11], [7, 8, 9, 12]]; var M:Array = transpose(m); for(var i:uint = 0; i < M.length; i++) trace(M[i]);</lang>

Ada

Transpose is a function of the standard Ada library provided for matrices built upon any floating-point or complex type. The relevant packages are Ada.Numerics.Generic_Real_Arrays and Ada.Numerics.Generic_Complex_Arrays, correspondingly.

This example illustrates use of Transpose for the matrices built upon the standard type Float: <lang ada>with Ada.Numerics.Real_Arrays; use Ada.Numerics.Real_Arrays; with Ada.Text_IO; use Ada.Text_IO;

Transpose a 2D double array. <lang c>#include <stdio.h>

void transpose(void *dest, void *src, int src_h, int src_w) { int i, j; double (*d)[src_h] = dest, (*s)[src_w] = src; for (i = 0; i < src_h; i++) for (j = 0; j < src_w; j++) d[j][i] = s[i][j]; }

int main() { int i, j; double a[3][5] = {{ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 }, { 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 }, { 1, 0, 0, 0, 42}}; double b[5][3]; transpose(b, a, 3, 5);

for (i = 0; i < 5; i++) for (j = 0; j < 3; j++) printf("%g%c", b[i][j], j == 2 ? '\n' : ' '); return 0; }</lang>

Transpose a matrix of size w x h in place with only O(1) space and without moving any element more than once. See the Wikipedia article for more information. <lang c>#include <stdio.h>

void transpose(double *m, int w, int h) { int start, next, i; double tmp;

for (start = 0; start <= w * h - 1; start++) { next = start; i = 0; do { i++; next = (next % h) * w + next / h; } while (next > start); if (next < start || i == 1) continue;

tmp = m[next = start]; do { i = (next % h) * w + next / h; m[next] = (i == start) ? tmp : m[i]; next = i; } while (next > start); } }

void show_matrix(double *m, int w, int h) { int i, j; for (i = 0; i < h; i++) { for (j = 0; j < w; j++) printf("%2g ", m[i * w + j]); putchar('\n'); } }

int main(void) { int i; double m[15]; for (i = 0; i < 15; i++) m[i] = i + 1;

Go

2D representation

Go arrays and slices are only one-dimensional. The obvious way to represent two-dimensional arrays is with a slice of slices: <lang go>package main

import "fmt"

type row []float64 type matrix []row

func main() {

   m := matrix{
       {1, 2, 3},
       {4, 5, 6},
   }
   printMatrix(m)
   t := transpose(m)
   printMatrix(t)

}

func printMatrix(m matrix) {

   for _, s := range m {
       fmt.Println(s)
   }

}

func transpose(m matrix) matrix {

   r := make(matrix, len(m[0]))
   for x, _ := range r {
       r[x] = make(row, len(m))
   }
   for y, s := range m {
       for x, e := range s {
           r[x][y] = e
       }
   }
   return r

}</lang>

Output:

[1 2 3]
[4 5 6]
[1 4]
[2 5]
[3 6]

Flat representation

Slices of slices turn out to have disadvantages. It is possible to construct ill-formed matricies with a different number of elements on different rows, for example. They require multiple allocations, and the compiler must generate complex address calculations to index elements.

A flat element representation with a stride is almost always better. <lang go>package main

import "fmt"

type matrix struct {

   ele    []float64
   stride int

}

// construct new matrix from slice of slices func matrixFromRows(rows [][]float64) *matrix {

   if len(rows) == 0 {
       return &matrix{nil, 0}
   }
   m := &matrix{make([]float64, len(rows)*len(rows[0])), len(rows[0])}
   for rx, row := range rows {
       copy(m.ele[rx*m.stride:(rx+1)*m.stride], row)
   }
   return m

}

func main() {

   m := matrixFromRows([][]float64{
       {1, 2, 3},
       {4, 5, 6},
   })
   m.print("original:")
   m.transpose().print("transpose:")

}

func (m *matrix) print(heading string) {

   if heading > "" {
       fmt.Print("\n", heading, "\n")
   }
   for e := 0; e < len(m.ele); e += m.stride {
       fmt.Println(m.ele[e : e+m.stride])
   }

}

func (m *matrix) transpose() *matrix {

   r := &matrix{make([]float64, len(m.ele)), len(m.ele) / m.stride}
   rx := 0
   for _, e := range m.ele {
       r.ele[rx] = e
       rx += r.stride
       if rx >= len(r.ele) {
           rx -= len(r.ele) - 1
       }
   }
   return r

}</lang>

Output:

original:
[1 2 3]
[4 5 6]

transpose:
[1 4]
[2 5]
[3 6]

swap (x,y) = (y,x)

transpArray :: (Ix a, Ix b) => Array (a,b) e -> Array (b,a) e transpArray a = ixmap (swap l, swap u) swap a where

 (l,u) = bounds a</lang>

As an aside, note that . and : are token forming suffixes (if they immediately follow a token forming character, they are a part of the token). This usage is in analogy to the use of [[wp:Diacritic]diacritics]] in many languages. (If you want to use : or . as tokens by themselves you must precede them with a space - beware though that wiki rendering software may sometimes elide the preceding space in <code> .</code> contexts.)

Joy

For matrices represented as lists, there's transpose, defined in seqlib like this: <lang joy>DEFINE transpose == [ [null] [true] [[null] some] ifte ]

                   [ pop [] ]
                   [ [[first] map] [[rest] map] cleave ]

jq

Works with: jq version 1.4

Recent versions of jq include a more general "transpose" that can be used to transpose jagged matrices.

The following definition of transpose/0 expects its input to be a non-empty array, each element of which should be an array of the same size. The result is an array that represents the transposition of the input. <lang jq>def transpose:

 if (.[0] | length) == 0 then []
 else [map(.[0])] + (map(.[1:]) | transpose)
 end ;</lang>

Examples

[[], []] | transpose
# => []

[[1], [3]] | transpose
# => 1,3

[[1,2], [3,4]] | transpose
# => [[1,3],[2,4]]

Julia

The transposition is obtained by quoting the matrix. <lang Julia>julia> [1 2 3 ; 4 5 6] # a 2x3 matrix 2x3 Array{Int64,2}:

1  2  3
4  5  6

Maple

The Transpose function in Maple's LinearAlgebra package computes this. The computation can also be accomplished by raising the Matrix to the %T power. Similarly for HermitianTranspose and the %H power.

<lang Maple> M := <<2,3>|<3,4>|<5,6>>;

M^%T;

with(LinearAlgebra): Transpose(M); </lang>

Output:

                                    [2  3  5]
                               M := [       ]

Mathematica

<lang mathematica>originalMatrix = {{1, 1, 1, 1},

                 {2, 4, 8, 16},
                 {3, 9, 27, 81},
                 {4, 16, 64, 256},

transposedMatrix = Transpose[originalMatrix]</lang>

MATLAB / Octave

Matlab contains two built-in methods of transposing a matrix: by using the transpose() function, or by using the .' operator. The ' operator yields the complex conjugate transpose. <lang Matlab>>> transpose([1 2;3 4])

ans =

    1     3
    2     4

>> [1 2;3 4].'

ans =

    1     3
    2     4</lang>

But, you can, obviously, do the transposition of a matrix without a built-in method, in this case, the code can be this hereafter code: <lang Matlab>

B=size(A); %In this code, we assume that a previous matrix "A" has already been inputted. for j=1:B(1)

   for i=1:B(2)
       C(i,j)=A(j,i);
   end      %The transposed A-matrix should be C

end

</lang>

Transposing nested cells using apply map list <lang Matlab>xy = {{1,2,3,4},{1,2,3,4},{1,2,3,4}} yx = feval(@(x) cellfun(@(varargin)[varargin],x{:},'un',0), xy)</lang>

        [ 5, 6, 7, 8, 9],
        [ 1, 0, 0, 0,42]]

let c = transpose(b) for r in c:

 for i in r:
   stdout.write i, " "

OCaml

Matrices can be represented in OCaml as a type 'a array array, or using the module Bigarray. The implementation below uses a bigarray:

<lang ocaml>open Bigarray

let transpose b =

 let dim1 = Array2.dim1 b
 and dim2 = Array2.dim2 b in
 let kind = Array2.kind b
 and layout = Array2.layout b in
 let b' = Array2.create kind layout dim2 dim1 in
 for i=0 to pred dim1 do
   for j=0 to pred dim2 do
     b'.{j,i} <- b.{i,j}
   done;
 done;
 (b')

let array2_display print newline b =

 for i=0 to Array2.dim1 b - 1 do
   for j=0 to Array2.dim2 b - 1 do
     print b.{i,j}
   done;
   newline();
 done;

let a = Array2.of_array int c_layout [|

 [| 1; 2; 3; 4 |];
 [| 5; 6; 7; 8 |];

|]

array2_display (Printf.printf " %d") print_newline (transpose a) ;;</lang>

TI-83 BASIC , TI-89 BASIC

TI-83: Assuming the original matrix is in [A], place its transpose in [B]:

[A]^T->[B]

The ^T operator can be found in the matrix math menu.

TI-89: The same except that matrix variables do not have special names:

A^T → B

Ursala

Matrices are stored as lists of lists, and transposing them is a built in operation. <lang Ursala>#cast %eLL

example =

~&K7 <

  <1.,2.,3.,4.>,
  <5.,6.,7.,8.>,
  <9.,10.,11.,12.>></lang>

For a more verbose version, replace the ~&K7 operator with the standard library function named transpose.

Output:
