将一个给定字符串 s 根据给定的行数 numRows ,以从上往下、从左到右进行 Z 字形排列。

比如输入字符串为 "PAYPALISHIRING" 行数为 3 时,排列如下:

P   A   H   N
A P L S I I G
Y   I   R

之后,你的输出需要从左往右逐行读取,产生出一个新的字符串,比如:"PAHNAPLSIIGYIR"

请你实现这个将字符串进行指定行数变换的函数:

string convert(string s, int numRows);

示例 1:

输入:s = "PAYPALISHIRING", numRows = 3
输出:"PAHNAPLSIIGYIR"

示例 2:

输入:s = "PAYPALISHIRING", numRows = 4
输出:"PINALSIGYAHRPI"
解释:
P     I    N
A   L S  I G
Y A   H R
P     I

示例 3:

输入:s = "A", numRows = 1
输出:"A"

提示:

  • 1 <= s.length <= 1000
  • s 由英文字母(小写和大写)、',''.' 组成
  • 1 <= numRows <= 1000

        res = ''.join(rows)
        return res
