Leetcode: 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 text, int nRows);

convert("PAYPALISHIRING", 3) should return  "PAHNAPLSIIGYIR".

string convert(string s, int nRows) {
        // Start typing your C/C++ solution below
        // DO NOT write int main() function    
        if(s == "")return s;
		vector<vector<char>> matrix;
        for(int i = 0; i< nRows; ++i)
        {
            vector<char> tmp;
            matrix.push_back(tmp);
        }
        int length = s.length();
		int i = 0;
		while(i <length)
		{
			for(int m = 0; m < nRows && i <length; ++m,++i)
				matrix[m].push_back(s[i]);
			for(int n = nRows-2; n > 0 && i <length; --n,++i)
				matrix[n].push_back(s[i]);
		}
		string res = "";
		for(int i = 0; i < nRows; ++i)
			for(int j = 0; j < matrix[i].size(); ++j)
				res += matrix[i][j];
		return res;
    }
