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

The String ZigZag Conversion Algorithms

We can simulate the process by walking down first, then when it reaches the last row, bounces back in the reverse direction. We need arrays of strings as we walk, and append the characters to the corresponding row of string.

O(N) time and O(N) space requirement. Edge case is when the ZigZag row is one and then we have to return the original string.
