Obtaining the transpose of a matrix making use of zip() function.
Python zip() function takes the iterable elements as input and returns the iterator.
Since zip funtion returns a zip object, we can cast it as list wit list().
list(zip([1,2,3],['a','b','c'], [True, False, True])) # [(1, 'a', True), (2, 'b', False), (3, 'c', True)]
Using *list, we can access to each element of the list
[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9], [10, 11, 12]] # [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9], [10, 11, 12]]
*[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9], [10, 11, 12]] # [1, 2, 3] [4, 5, 6] [7, 8, 9] [10, 11, 12]
Combining these two elements we can transpose a matrix. We can access to each row of the matrix using the operator * to use them as args of zip() function.
def transpose_matrix(l:list):
return list(zip(*l))
print(transpose_matrix([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9], [10, 11, 12]])) # [(1, 4, 7, 10), (2, 5, 8, 11), (3, 6, 9, 12)]
