Java Transpose of a matrix

In this section, you will learn how to determine the transpose of a matrix.The transpose of a matrix is formed by interchanging the rows and columns of a matrix such that row i of matrix becomes column i of the transposed matrix. The transpose of A is denoted by AT. Through the following code,the user is allowed to enter the number of rows and columns and the elements to create a matrix. Then using the for loop statements, turn all the rows of the matrix into columns and vice-versa.

Here is the code:

import java.util.*;

public class Transpose {
	public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
		int rows, cols;
		int[][] matrix, tmatrix;
		Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
		System.out.print("Enter number of rows: ");
		rows = input.nextInt();
		System.out.print("Enter number of columns: ");
		cols = input.nextInt();
		matrix = new int[rows][cols];
		tmatrix = new int[cols][rows];
		System.out.println("Enter elements for Matrix");
		for (int i = 0; i < rows; i++) {
			for (int j = 0; j < cols; j++) {
				matrix[i][j] = input.nextInt();
			}
		}
		for (int i = 0; i < rows; i++) {
			for (int j = 0; j < cols; j++) {
				tmatrix[i][j] = matrix[j][i];
			}
		}
		System.out.println("Matrix is:");
		for (int i = 0; i < rows; i++) {
			for (int j = 0; j < cols; j++) {
				System.out.print(matrix[i][j] + " ");
			}
			System.out.println();
		}
		System.out.println("Its transpose is: ");
		for (int i = 0; i < cols; i++) {
			for (int j = 0; j < rows; j++) {
				System.out.print(tmatrix[i][j] + " ");
			}
			System.out.println();
		}
	}
}

Output:

Enter number of rows: 3
Enter number of columns: 3
Enter elements for matrix:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
Matrix is:
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
Its transpose is:
1 4 7
2 5 8
3 6 9
