Python Trick: Transposing a Matrix with zip()

The zip() function can be combined with the unpacking operator * to transpose a matrix easily.

How It Works:
- zip(*matrix) uses the unpacking operator * to unpack the rows of the matrix.
- zip() then combines the elements of each row into tuples, effectively transposing the matrix.
- Converting the result to a list makes it easier to work with the transposed matrix.

Why It's Cool:
- Concise: Achieves matrix transposition in a single line of code.
- Readable: The use of zip() and unpacking is clear and intuitive.
- Versatile: Works with any rectangular list of lists, regardless of size.

This trick is particularly useful in data processing tasks where you need to manipulate or analyze the orientation of data.
