LeetCode 6. Z字形变换

将字符串 “PAYPALISHIRING” 以Z字形排列成给定的行数：

P A H N
A P L S I I G
Y I R

之后从左往右，逐行读取字符：”PAHNAPLSIIGYIR”

实现一个将字符串进行指定行数变换的函数:

string convert(string s, int numRows);

示例 1:

输入: s = “PAYPALISHIRING”, numRows = 3
输出: “PAHNAPLSIIGYIR”

示例 2:

输入: s = “PAYPALISHIRING”, numRows = 4
输出: “PINALSIGYAHRPI”
解释:

P I N
A L S I G
Y A H R
P I

class Solution(object):
    def convert(self, s, numRows):
        """
        :type s: str
        :type numRows: int
        :rtype: str
        """
        if numRows == 1 or numRows >= len(s):
            return s

        L = [''] * numRows
        index, step = 0, 1

        for x in s:
            L[index] += x
            if index == 0:
                step = 1
            elif index == numRows -1:
                step = -1
            index += step

        return ''.join(L)
