Leetcode题解-6. 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 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"
.
思路:模拟Z型字符串的形成,用一个nRows大小的一维字符串矩阵存每一行,最后把每一行的字符串合并成一个输出的结果。把Z型左右压扁看成S型,每当到了第一行或者最后一行的时候就调转填字符的方向,例如nRows取3,从第一行填字符到第三行,然后调转填字符方向到第二行,行的顺序是1-2-3-2-1-2-3-2-1……时间复杂度是O(n)
string convert(string s, int numRows) {
if(numRows == 1) return s;
string *re = new string[numRows];
int l = s.size();
int row = 0;
int turn = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < l; i++){
re[row] += s[i];
if(row+1 == numRows) turn = 1;
else if(row-1 == -1) turn = 0;
if(turn == 0) row++;
else if(turn == 1) row--;
}
string r = "";
for(int i = 0; i < numRows; i++){
r+=re[i];
}
return r;
}
