How can you create a row vector in Julia?

• By using semicolons between elements.

• By using brackets around elements.

• By using spaces instead of commas.

• By using colons between elements.

Which symbol is used to access all elements of a specific row or column in a matrix?

• Semicolon (;)

• Comma (,)

• Asterisk (*)

• Colon (:)

What function is used to change the dimensions of a matrix in Julia?
