<p>The string <code>&quot;PAYPALISHIRING&quot;</code> 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>

<pre>
P   A   H   N
A P L S I I G
Y   I   R
</pre>

<p>And then read line by line: <code>&quot;PAHNAPLSIIGYIR&quot;</code></p>

<p>Write the code that will take a string and make this conversion given a number of rows:</p>

<pre>
string convert(string s, int numRows);
</pre>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong class="example">Example 1:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> s = &quot;PAYPALISHIRING&quot;, numRows = 3
<strong>Output:</strong> &quot;PAHNAPLSIIGYIR&quot;
</pre>

<p><strong class="example">Example 2:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> s = &quot;PAYPALISHIRING&quot;, numRows = 4
<strong>Output:</strong> &quot;PINALSIGYAHRPI&quot;
<strong>Explanation:</strong>
P     I    N
