+# Transpose
+
+Given an input text output it transposed.
+
+Roughly explained, the transpose of a matrix:
+
+```text
+ABC
+DEF
+```
+
+is given by:
+
+```text
+AD
+BE
+CF
+```
+
+Rows become columns and columns become rows. See <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transpose>.
+
+If the input has rows of different lengths, this is to be solved as follows:
+
+- Pad to the left with spaces.
+- Don't pad to the right.
+
+Therefore, transposing this matrix:
+
+```text
+ABC
+DE
+```
+
+results in:
+
+```text
+AD
+BE
+C
+```
+
+And transposing:
+
+```text
+AB
+DEF
+```
+
+results in:
+
+```text
+AD
+BE
+ F
+```
+
+In general, all characters from the input should also be present in the transposed output.
+That means that if a column in the input text contains only spaces on its bottom-most row(s),
+the corresponding output row should contain the spaces in its right-most column(s).
+
+## Setup
+
+Go through the setup instructions for ECMAScript to
+install the necessary dependencies:
+
+http://exercism.io/languages/ecmascript
+
+## Requirements
+
+Install assignment dependencies:
+
+```bash
+$ npm install
+```
+
+## Making the Test Suite Pass
+
+Execute the tests with:
+
+```bash
+$ npm test
+```
+
+In the test suite, all tests but the first have been skipped.
+
+Once you get a test passing, you can enable the next one by
+changing `xtest` to `test`.
