W​hy in some quizzes I see that the single neuron weights are stored in a column, but in others they are stored in a row? I’m lost

S​ometimes I see “wT \* X”, (which means that single neuron weights are stored in a column, so that the transpose will switch them to horizontal direction), but sometimes the T is omitted

So, what’s the proper way to store weights? single neuron - 1 column or single neuron - 1 row?

Hi, @Denys. Welcome to the Specialization.

Please see this recent [thread](https://community.deeplearning.ai/t/cant-understand-a-matrix/125234) on the topic. If that doesn’t help, then maybe you think that there is an issue with a quiz question that you can raise.
