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"
.
class Solution { public: string convert(string s, int numRows) { if(numRows == 1)return s; string* a = new string[numRows]; string ans; int n = 2 * numRows - 2; for(int i = 0;i < s.size();i++) { int r = i % n; int l = r % numRows; if(l == r)a[l] += s[i]; else a[numRows - l - 2] += s[i]; } for(int i = 0;i < numRows;i++){ ans += a[i]; } return ans; } };
