【leetcode】Reorder List

Given a singly linked list L: L0→L1→…→Ln-1→Ln,
reorder it to: L0→Ln→L1→Ln-1→L2→Ln-2→…

You must do this in-place without altering the nodes' values.

For example,
Given {1,2,3,4}, reorder it to {1,4,2,3}.

题解：看起来最后变换得到的链表顺序很奇怪，起始很简单，就是把链表从中间折断，后半部分反转后和前半部分做归并即可。不过这个归并不是归并排序每次从两个链表中取较小的值，而是两个链表相互交错即可。

例如1->2->3->4，从中间折断得到两个链表1->2和3->4，后面一个链表反转得到4->3，然后和第一个链表交错归并得到1->3->2->4;

再例如1->2->3->4->5，从中间折断得到两个链表1->2->3和4->5，后一个链表反转得到5->4，和第一个链表交错归并得到1->4->2->5->3;

代码如下：

/**
 * Definition for singly-linked list.
 * class ListNode {
 *     int val;
 *     ListNode next;
 *     ListNode(int x) {
 *         val = x;
 *         next = null;
 *     }
 * }

             ListNode temp = head.next;
             head.next = newHead;
             newHead = head;
             head = temp;
         }
         return newHead;
     }
     
     private void newMerge(ListNode head1,ListNode head2){
         ListNode newHead = new ListNode(0);

         }
