The string "PAYPALISHIRING"
is written in a zigzag pattern on a given number of rows like this: (you may want to display this pattern in a fixed font for better legibility)
P A H N A P L S I I G Y I RAnd then read line by line:
"PAHNAPLSIIGYIR"
Write the code that will take a string and make this conversion given a number of rows:
string convert(string text, int nRows);
convert("PAYPALISHIRING", 3)
should return "PAHNAPLSIIGYIR"
.
class Solution {
public:
std::string convert(std::string s, int nRows) {
if(nRows==1)
{
return s;
}
std::string result;
int t = nRows*2-2;
for(int i = 0;i<=t/2;++i)
{
for(int j = 0;j<s.size();++j)
{
if(j%t==i||j%t==t-i)
{
result+= s[j];
}
}
}
return result;
}
};
