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 R
And 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"
.解答
数学问题,先找好规律,然后按顺序直接在原字符串上读取下标获取。
nRow = 2:
0 2 4 6 8 10 12
1 3 5 7 9 11 13
nRow = 3:
0 4 8 12
1 3 5 7 9 11
2 6 10
nRow = 4:
0 6 12
1 5 7 11 13
2 4 8 10
3 9
显然,首行和末行的字符间隔是2*nRows-2,之后的字符间隔逐行减2……代码如下:
public class Solution {
public String convert(String s, int nRows) {
if(nRows==1)
return s;
int dis=2*nRows-2; //首行(末行)的相邻字母的间隔
int len=s.length();
String result="";
for(int i=0;i<nRows;i++){
for(int j=i;j<len;j+=dis){
result+=s.charAt(j);
if(i>0&&i<nRows-1&&j+dis-2*i<len) //处理不是首行和末行的
result+=s.charAt(j+dis-2*i);
}
}
return result;
}
}
