Transpose of a two-dimensional array - JavaScript

Transpose

The transpose of a matrix (2-D array) is simply a flipped version of the original matrix (2-D array). We can transpose a matrix (2-D array) by switching its rows with its columns.

Let’s say the following is our 2d array −

const arr = [
   [1, 1, 1],
   [2, 2, 2],
   [3, 3, 3],
];

Let’s write the code for this function −

Example

Following is the code −

const arr = [
   [1, 1, 1],
   [2, 2, 2],
   [3, 3, 3],
];
const transpose = arr => {
   for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
      for (let j = 0; j < i; j++) {
         const tmp = arr[i][j];
         arr[i][j] = arr[j][i];
         arr[j][i] = tmp;
      };
   }
}
transpose(arr);
console.log(arr);

Output

The output in the console: −

[ [ 1, 2, 3 ], [ 1, 2, 3 ], [ 1, 2, 3 ] ]
