Description:
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"
.
解题思路:这道题目初开始看上去的时候会觉得比较难,其实只要能搞清楚zigzag排列的真正意思就好了,其实就是给定了行数之后的一个类似于Z字形状的排列。我这里考虑的是用一个字符串数组 string[rows] 来存储每一行,最后一拼接就是最终结果。用一个delta表示正向还是反向,即上图中从第一行到最后一行还是最后一行到第一行。
class Solution {
public:
string convert(string s, int numRows) {
if(numRows == 1) return s;
string res[numRows];
int i = 0, j, gap = numRows-2;
while(i < s.size()){
for(j = 0; i < s.size() && j < numRows; ++j) res[j] += s[i++];
for(j = gap; i < s.size() && j > 0; --j) res[j] += s[i++];
}
string str = "";
for(i = 0; i < numRows; ++i)
str += res[i];
return str;
}
};
