Column-major order is a way of storing elements in memory where they are arranged sequentially by columns. Each column is stored one after another.
Picture a bookshelf filled with books organized vertically from top to bottom and left to right. Each column represents a different category of books, and within each column, the books are placed one after another. This arrangement resembles how data is stored in column-major order.
Row-Major Order: Row-major order refers to the way elements are stored in memory where they are arranged sequentially by rows.
Matrix: A matrix is a two-dimensional array consisting of rows and columns used for mathematical operations.
