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".

/**
 * 很容易看出外层的循环周期；
 * 若s="0123456789",当numRows=3时,打印出 048/159/26
 *                 当numRows=4时，打印出06/17/28/39
 * 故循环周期是cyc=2*numRows-2；
 * 对于首行和末行之间的行，期间还有一个周期,这一次距离本周期起始字符的距离是 2*nRows-2-2*i
