[leetcode][algorithm][python]ZigZag Conversion

 

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 s, int numRows);

Example 1:

Input: s = "PAYPALISHIRING", numRows = 3
Output: "PAHNAPLSIIGYIR"

Example 2:

Input: s = "PAYPALISHIRING", numRows = 4
Output: "PINALSIGYAHRPI"
Explanation:

P     I    N
A   L S  I G
Y A   H R
P     I

python代码 z有numRows行，按指定的循环顺序往z的行里添加元素，最后把z的不同行合并起来，顺序由rn这个列表规定

k和j控制添加的次数，还有i也是控制添加的次数。

class Solution:
    def convert(self, s: 'str', numRows: 'int') -> 'str':
        if numRows==1:
            return s
        n=numRows
        z=['']*n
        rn=list(range(0,n-1))+list(range(n-1,0,-1))
        slen=len(s)
        i=0
        for k in range(slen//(2*n-2)+1):
            for j in range(2*n-2):
                z[rn[j]]+=s[i]
                if i==(slen-1):
                    return "".join(z)
                else:
                    i=i+1
