Solution: Zigzag Conversion

Explore how to transform a string into a zigzag pattern by tracking row positions. Learn to implement a row traversal method that handles edge cases and efficiently concatenates results. This lesson helps you understand simulating patterns and managing string indexing for coding interviews.

Statement

Given a string s and an integer numRows, rearrange the characters of s by writing them in a zigzag pattern across numRows rows, then reading the result row by row from top to bottom.

For example, writing "COMPUTER" in a zigzag pattern across 3 row produces:

C U
O P T R
M E

This will be read as "CUOPTRME".
