Description
Given an unsorted array nums, reorder it such that nums[0] < nums[1] > nums[2] < nums[3]....
Example 1:
Input: nums = [1, 5, 1, 1, 6, 4]
Output: One possible answer is [1, 4, 1, 5, 1, 6].
Example 2:
Input: nums = [1, 3, 2, 2, 3, 1]
Output: One possible answer is [2, 3, 1, 3, 1, 2].
Note:
You may assume all input has valid answer.

Can you do it in O(n) time and/or in-place with O(1) extra space?
这道题给了我们一个无序数组，让我们排序成摆动数组，满足nums[0] < nums[1] > nums[2] < nums[3]...，并给了我们例子。我们可以先给数组排序，然后在做调整。调整的方法是找到数组的中间的数，相当于把有序数组从中间分成两部分，然后从前半段的末尾取一个，在从后半的末尾去一个，这样保证了第一个数小于第二个数，然后从前半段取倒数第二个，从后半段取倒数第二个，这保证了第二个数大于第三个数，且第三个数小于第四个数，以此类推直至都取完，参见代码如下：
解法一：
// O(n) space
class Solution {
public:
void wiggleSort(vector<int>& nums) {
vector<int> tmp = nums;
int n = nums.size(), k = (n + 1) / 2, j = n;
sort(tmp.begin(), tmp.end());
for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
nums[i] = i & 1 ? tmp[--j] : tmp[--k];
}
}
};
这道题的Follow up让我们用O(n)的时间复杂度和O(1)的空间复杂度，这个真的比较难，参见网友的解答，(未完待续。。)
解法二：
// O(1) space
class Solution {
public:
void wiggleSort(vector<int>& nums) {
#define A(i) nums[(1 + 2 * i) % (n | 1)]
int n = nums.size(), i = 0, j = 0, k = n - 1;
auto midptr = nums.begin() + n / 2;
nth_element(nums.begin(), midptr, nums.end());
int mid = *midptr;
while (j <= k) {
if (A(j) > mid) swap(A(i++), A(j++));
else if (A(j) < mid) swap(A(j), A(k--));
else ++j;
}
}
};
