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"

public class Solution {
    public String convert(String s, int numRows) {
        StringBuffer[] sb = new StringBuffer[numRows];
        for(int i = 0; i < sb.length; i++){
            sb[i] = new StringBuffer();
        }
        int len = s.length();
        int i = 0;
        while(i < len){
            for(int j = 0; j < numRows && i < len; j++){
                sb[j].append(s.charAt(i++));
            }
            for(int j = numRows - 2; j > 0 && i < len; j--){
                sb[j].append(s.charAt(i++));
            }
        }
        for(int k = 1; k < numRows; k++){
             sb[0].append(sb[k]);
        }
          
         return sb[0].toString();
    }
   
}
