Once we get to the first array, reverse direction again.
This example shows how I'll be approaching this problem: build the same number of arrays for rows that are given, add the letters of the given string to each array until we get to the last array, then reverse direction.
Taking the lines of the arrays away (essentially converting these arrays to strings), we get three strings.Īdding them together, line by line, we get the result: "AEBDFHCG". We can keep doing the same thing, adding letters in one direction until we get to the bottom row, and then reversing direction, until we've added all of the letters of the string. We'll add "D" and "E" in this reverse direction, but once we get to the first row, we again know we can't continue in this direction. Once we get to the bottom row, we know we can't add any more letters in that direction, so we'll have to start reversing direction. Starting with the first three letters, "ABC", we can put them at the start of the three rows (or arrays). Now, to build this zig zagged word, we can go letter by letter in the given string. Taking all of the letters away, we have three rows, which can be thought of like three arrays. Let's say you're given the string "ABCDEFGH", and the number of rows in the zigzag is 3. So, I'll start by working through an example and considering how I'll approach the problem, and then I'll go into the code. I think this is the kind of algorithm where breaking down an example helps you come up with the solution. Read line-by-line, you get the string "ATHLIHTEGRMFDYOOA", which would be the output of this function.
