leetcode #6 ZigZagConversion

ZigZagConversion

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) {
    int period = 2*numRows-2;
        int len = s.length();
        boolean odd = true;
        char[] c1 = s.toCharArray();
        char[] c2 = new char[len];
        if(numRows==1||len<2||len<=numRows)return s; 
        int newi=0;
      for(int i=0;i<numRows;i++){
        if(i==0){                          //first row
            for(int j=i;j<len;j=j+period){
                c2[newi]=c1[j];
                newi++; 
            }   
        }

        if(i>=1&&i<=numRows-2){
            int j=i;
            while(j<len){
                if (odd==true){
                    c2[newi]=c1[j];
                    j=j+(period-2*i);
                    newi++; 
                }
                if(odd==false){
                    c2[newi]=c1[j];
                    j=j+2*i;                    
                    newi++;     
                }
                odd=!odd;   
            }
            odd=true;
        }

        if(i==numRows-1){
            for(int j=i;j<len;j=j+period){
                c2[newi]=c1[j];
                newi++; 
            }   
        }

      }
        return String.copyValueOf(c2);
    }
}

这段代码码了一天，一开始采用了错误的思路。打算中间几行采用两次打印到新的数组里，分别一次打印奇数列，指针回到开头后打印偶数列。后来发现调试很困难，之后采取了一般性的思路，发现难度并不大。
代码还有待优化，过两天再来看。
