+// PROBLEM STATEMENT ALONG WITH TEST CASE
+// 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
+// Example 3:
+
+// Input: s = "A", numRows = 1
+// Output: "A"
+ 
+
+// Constraints:
+
+// 1 <= s.length <= 1000
+// s consists of English letters (lower-case and upper-case), ',' and '.'.
+// 1 <= numRows <= 1000
