内容描述
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 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

public String convert(String s, int rows) {
if (numRows == 1) return s;
char[] c = s.toCharArray();
int length = c.length;
StringBuilder[] sb = new StringBuilder[rows];
for (int i = 0; i < rows; i++) {
sb[i] = new StringBuilder();
}
int i = 0;
while (i < length) {
for (int idx = 0; idx < rows && i < length; idx++) {
sb[idx].append(c[i++]);
}
for (int idx = rows - 2; idx >= 1 && i < length; idx--) {
sb[idx].append(c[i++]);
}
}
for (int j = 1; j < rows; j++) {
sb[0].append(sb[j]);
}
return sb[0].toString();
