# 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.
