Transpose

Given an input text output it transposed.

Roughly explained, the transpose of a matrix:

ABC
DEF

is given by:

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:

ABC
DE

results in:

AD
BE
C

And transposing:

AB
DEF

results in:

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).

Running the tests

To run the tests run the command go test from within the exercise directory.

If the test suite contains benchmarks, you can run these with the -bench flag:

go test -bench .

Keep in mind that each reviewer will run benchmarks on a different machine, with different specs, so the results from these benchmark tests may vary.
