Odd Even Linked List

[Question] Given the head of a singly linked list, group all the nodes with odd indices together followed by the nodes with even indices, and return the reordered list.

The first node is considered odd, and the second node is even, and so on.

You must solve the problem in O(1) extra space complexity and O(n) time complexity.

Example 1:

Input: head = [1,2,3,4,5]
Output: [1,3,5,2,4]
func oddEvenList(_ head: ListNode?) -> ListNode? {
    var oddHead = head
    var evenHead = head?.next
    var evenOrignalHead = head?.next
    while evenHead != nil && evenHead?.next != nil {
        oddHead?.next = evenHead?.next // Step A
        oddHead = oddHead?.next // Step B
        evenHead?.next = oddHead?.next// Step C
        evenHead = evenHead?.next// Step D
    }
    oddHead?.next = evenOrignalHead // Step E
    return head
}
