题目描述:
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"
.
问题分析:该问题就是找规律,没有任何技巧,第一行和最后一行循环周期为2*numRows-2,其他循环周期为2*numRows-2-2*i。
方法一:
class Solution {
public:
string convert(string s, int numRows) {
int len = s.length();
string ret;
if(len == 0 || numRows < 2) return s;
int lag = 2*numRows-2;
for(int i = 0; i < numRows; i++){
for(int j = i; j < len; j += lag){
ret += s[j];
if( i > 0 && i < numRows-1){
int t = j + lag - 2*i;
if( t < len) ret += s[t];
}
}
}
return ret;
}
};
