Is there a transpose function in Elixir?

Question

Hi I look for a transpose function in Elixir. For example I have this kind of array a and after calling a function the result should be b:

Answer 1

There isn't one in Elixir currently, but you could create your own with:

def transpose([]), do: []
def transpose([[]|_]), do: []
def transpose(a) do
  [Enum.map(a, &hd/1) | transpose(Enum.map(a, &tl/1))]
end

Answer 2

Here's a slightly different solution:

def transpose(m) where length(m) <2, do: m
def transpose(m) do
  for i <- 0..length(m)-1 do
    Enum.reduce(m,[], fn x,acc -> acc ++ [Enum.at(x,i)] end)
  end
end

where m is your matrix.

Answer 3

There (still) isn't one in Elixir, but you can use:

def transpose(rows) do
  rows
  |> List.zip
  |> Enum.map(&Tuple.to_list/1)
end
