[LeetCode-Java]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 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”.

解：时间复杂度 O(n)

public String convert(String s, int numRows) {

   StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();

        if (numRows <= 1){
            stringBuilder.append(s);
        }else {
            int gap = 2 * (numRows - 1);
            //第一行
            for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i += gap) {
                stringBuilder.append(s.charAt(i));
            }

            //中间行
            for (int n = 1; n < numRows-1; n++) {

                for (int i = 0; i - n < s.length(); i += gap) {
                    if (i-n>0) {
                        stringBuilder.append(s.charAt(i - n));
                    }
                    if (i+n<s.length()){
                        stringBuilder.append(s.charAt(i + n));
                    }
                }
            }

            //最后一行
            for (int i = numRows-1; i < s.length(); i += gap) {
                stringBuilder.append(s.charAt(i));
            }
        }


        return stringBuilder.toString();
    }
