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 transpose.
If the input has rows of different lengths, this is to be solved as follows:
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).
Simply type make chez
if you're using ChezScheme or make guile
if you're using GNU Guile.
Sometimes the name for the scheme binary on your system will differ from the defaults.
When this is the case, you'll need to tell make by running make chez chez=your-chez-binary
or make guile guile=your-guile-binary
.
(load "test.scm")
at the repl prompt.transpose.scm
reloading as you go.(test)
to check your solution.If some of the test cases fail, you should see the failing input and the expected output.
The failing input is presented as a list because the tests call your solution by (apply transpose input-list)
.
