Python
def transpose(matrix):
    # Number of rows and columns in the original matrix
    rows = len(matrix)
    cols = len(matrix[0]) if rows > 0 else 0
    
    # Create a new matrix with dimensions swapped
    result = []
    for j in range(cols):
        new_row = []
        for i in range(rows):
