StringTops 6kyu

Task

Write a function that accepts msg string and returns local tops of string from the highest to the lowest. The string's tops are from displaying the string in the below way:

                                                  3
                          p                     2   4
        g               o   q                 1

b f h n r z a c e i m s y d j l t x k u w v

The next top is always 1 character higher than the previous one. For the above example, the solution for the abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234 input string is 3pgb.

  • When the msg string is empty, return an empty string.
  • The input strings may be very long. Make sure your solution has good performance.

Check the test cases for more samples. Note for C++

Do not post an issue in my solution without checking if your returned string doesn't have some invisible characters.

You read most probably outside of msg string.
