Given an array with 50 indices, write a function that takes the array and a number n as input and builds a matrix with n columns.
Good luck!

What should the output for
n
other than 1, 2, 5, 10, 25 and 50 be?It should build n columns. Regardless if there is some remainder or not, the remainder should just be put in a column of itself (which will contain less elements compaired to the other).
You mean a row? A row where only m<n out of n columns are populated?
Hi, the function should build columns, say you have only 9 indexes and build 3 columns:
Say array is [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]
Your columns will be:
0 3 6
1 4 7
2 5 8
That's the output in the console, of course the 'columns' can be simple arrays, but the elements have to be pushed onto them like this.
Also, if instead of 9 items you have say 11 -> [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10], your output will be similar but the last column will be incomplete:
0 3 6 9
1 4 7 10
2 5 8
Hope this clarifies it a bit.
Thanks for reaching out =).
