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 RAnd 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"
.
数学题。巨无聊的一道题,真正面试过程中,不大可能出这种问题。
n=4
P I N
A L S I G
Y A H R
P I
N=5
P H
A S I
Y I R
P L I G

所以,对于每一层主元素(红色元素)的坐标 (i,j)= (j+1 )*n +i
对于每两个主元素之间的插入元素(绿色元素),(j+1)*n -i
