How many rows in a column?

Question

In a standard column?

Answer 1

as many as you wish to have...

Answer 2

The word column is used in very different contexts, maths, architecture,etc. All contexts, however express verticality above horizontality. Rows express horizontality above verticality.

Let us propose that that rows and columns are made up of units. Several units piled vertically make a column; several units placed horizontally make a row. A single unit might have both height and width but it is neither a row nor a column since it expresses neither verticality nor horizontality preferentially.

Thus it follows that a column, standard or otherwise does not imply any horizontality or 'rows' never mind the confident '12' expostulated by one wag with delusions of superiority.

Without a context a 'standard column' is a meaningless concept, even given a context I have never heard of a 'standard column' and I have only recently finished rewriting the Encyclopoedia Britannica and Oxford Dictionary (just kidding).

In this sort of question the problem usually lies in the asker not having sufficient knowledge to express the question in an unambiguous manner. It is up to we answerers to read between the lines and come up with an appropriate answer, which is why 'googling' or 'follow this link' do not cut the mustard. Maybe the asker has already looked at the sites and has insufficient knowledge to follow their explanation. In any case the title of this webpage is 'What is your answer', not what is Google's answer.

Answer 4

A column (usually) is a vertical stack of objects or numbers, etc. A row is (usually) a horizontal line of objects or spaced numbers. Because a column may have many layers and a row may have only one item, there can be as many rows as there are layers in the column. If you stack boxes 10 high and 5 wide, there are 5 columns and 10 rows. If the array is only one box wide, there are still 10 rows (with only one box per row) in a single column. Hope that helps a little.

Answer 5

Matrices are composed of rows and columns. Every member of a row is a member of a column and vice versa. They take the form
[3X2], [2X2] etc. referring to
[number of members of rows] arrayed with
[number of members of columns]
so in a 2 [rows] by 2 [columns] array there are 2 rows in the column.
