题目
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 s, int numRows);
Example 1:
Input: s = “PAYPALISHIRING”, numRows = 3
Output: “PAHNAPLSIIGYIR”
Example 2:
Input: s = “PAYPALISHIRING”, numRows = 4
Output: “PINALSIGYAHRPI”
Explanation:
P I N
A L S I G
Y A H R
P I
题意: 给定一个字符串,按照给定的行数将字符串按照Z型放置,然后按行输出成一个新的字符串。
思路: 找出规律将字符存放在一个list中即可,设置一个长度为numRows的list,list的下标表示每一行,然后按照顺序依次读取字符串,将每一行的结果存放在list对应的下标后面,存放的过程很简单,设置一个方向,当list中的index等于行数-1时(index是从0开始),对list逆序存过去,当list的index为0时,再顺着存过来.
代码仅供参考:
class Solution(object):
def convert(self, s, numRows):
"""
:type s: str
:type numRows: int
:rtype: str
"""
if numRows == 1:
return s
index = -1
step = 1 #控制方向
temp = ['' for i in range(numRows)]
for i in range(len(s)):
index = index + step
if index == numRows-1:
step = -1
elif index == 0:
step = 1
temp[index] += s[i]
return "".join(temp)
