【leetcode】Zigzag Conversion

Question ：

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 text, int nRows);

convert("PAYPALISHIRING", 3)should return"PAHNAPLSIIGYIR".

         // Start typing your C/C++ solution below
         // DO NOT write int main() function    
         string ret(s);
         
         int stepArray[2];
