ZigZag Conversion

来源：Leetcode Problem Set - Algorithm Problem6

题目描述：

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" .

解题思路：从两个方向进行读取，先向下，再减去头尾斜着读取。

代码解答：

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;
    }   
};
