How to Transpose a Matrix in Python (List of Lists)
Swap rows and columns of a 2D list using nested loops to produce a transposed matrix.
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):
new_row.appe…Count Smaller Elements to the Right in Python
Return a list where each index counts how many elements to its right are smaller than that element using a clean O(n²) nested-loop approach.
def count_smaller_elements(arr):
"""
Return a list where result[i] is the number of elements
to the right of arr[i] that are smaller than arr[i].
"""
result = []
for i in range(len(arr)):
count = 0
for j in range(i + 1, len(arr)):
if arr[j] < arr[i]:
