You are given the head of a singly linked list. The list can be represented as:

L0 → L1 → … → Ln-1 → Ln

Reorder the list to be in the following form:

L0 → Ln → L1 → Ln-1 → L2 → Ln-2 → …

You may not modify the values in the list's nodes. Only nodes themselves may be changed.

Return the reordered list as an array.

Examples

Example 1:

Input: head = [1,2,3,4]

Output: [1,4,2,3]

Explanation: The list is reordered from 1→2→3→4 to 1→4→2→3.

Example 2:

Input: head = [1,2,3,4,5]

Output: [1,5,2,4,3]

Explanation: The list is reordered from 1→2→3→4→5 to 1→5→2→4→3.

Example 3:

Input: head = [1]

Output: [1]

Explanation: A single node needs no reordering.

Constraints

  • The number of nodes in the list is in the range [0, 5 × 10⁴]
  • 1 <= Node.val <= 1000
