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
Example 3:
- Input: s = “A”, numRows = 1
- Output: “A”
Constraints:
- 1 <= s.length <= 1000
- s consists of English letters (lower-case and upper-case), ‘,’ and ‘.’.
- 1 <= numRows <= 1000
