PatrickMcSweeny's solution

Given a string representing a matrix of numbers, return the rows and columns of that matrix.

So given a string with embedded newlines like:

9 8 7
5 3 2
6 6 7

representing this matrix:

    0  1  2
  |---------
0 | 9  8  7
1 | 5  3  2
2 | 6  6  7

your code should be able to spit out:

• A list of the rows, reading each row left-to-right while moving top-to-bottom across the rows,
• A list of the columns, reading each column top-to-bottom while moving from left-to-right.

The rows for our example matrix:

• 9, 8, 7
• 5, 3, 2
• 6, 6, 7

And its columns:

• 9, 5, 6
• 8, 3, 6
• 7, 2, 7

For installation and learning resources, refer to the exercism help page.

For running the tests provided, you will need the Minitest gem. Open a terminal window and run the following command to install minitest:

gem install minitest

If you would like color output, you can require 'minitest/pride' in the test file, or note the alternative instruction, below, for running the test file.

Run the tests from the exercise directory using the following command:

ruby matrix_test.rb

To include color from the command line:

ruby -r minitest/pride matrix_test.rb
