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"
class Solution {
public:
string convert(string s, int numRows) {
vector<string> v(numRows);
string str;
int n = 0;
bool flag = true;
int len = s.size();
if (numRows == 1) return s;
for (int i =0;i!=len;++i)
{
v[n].push_back(s[i]);
if (i % (numRows-1) == 0){
flag = !flag;
}
if (flag) {
n -=1;
}else{
n +=1;
}
}
for (vector<string>::iterator iter = v.begin();
iter != v.end();++iter)
{
str+= *iter;
}
return str;
}
};
