Write a Python Program to Transpose a Matrix

[iamAntimPal]

Issue Description

Problem Statement

Create a Python program that takes a matrix (2D list) as input and returns its transpose.

What is Matrix Transposition?

Transposing a matrix means flipping it over its diagonal — the row and column indices of each element are swapped.
For example:

Original Matrix:

1 2 3  
4 5 6

Transposed Matrix:

1 4  
2 5  
3 6

Requirements

• Prompt the user to input the number of rows and columns.
• Prompt the user to enter each row's elements.
• Create the transpose of the matrix.
• Display the transposed matrix clearly.

Expected Output Example

Enter number of rows: 2  
Enter number of columns: 3  

Enter the elements row by row:  
1 2 3  
4 5 6  

Transpose of the matrix:  
1 4  
2 5  
3 6

Additional Considerations

• Validate input for proper dimensions and numeric entries.
• Use nested lists or list comprehensions to perform the transposition.
• Optional: Offer functionality to perform multiple transpositions in one session.
• Optional: Use NumPy for a simpler alternative.

Submission Guidelines

• Fork the repository and create a new branch for this issue.
• Save the script in basic-python/ or an appropriate directory.
• Submit a pull request with a descriptive commit message.
• Optional: Include a README.md explaining the logic and how to run the script.

Acceptance Criteria

• Correctly generates the transpose of a matrix.
• Handles invalid or malformed input.
• Code is clean, beginner-friendly, and well-commented.
