You are given an array 'ARR' of N integers. Each integer represents the height of a balloon. So, there are N balloons lined up.

Your aim is to destroy all these balloons. Now, a balloon can only be destroyed if the player shoots its head. So, to do the needful, he/ she shoots an arrow from the left to the right side of the platform, from an arbitrary height he/she chooses. The arrow moves from left to right, at a chosen height ARR[i] until it finds a balloon. The moment when an arrow touches a balloon, the balloon gets destroyed and disappears and the arrow continues its way from left to right at a height decreased by 1. Therefore, if the arrow was moving at height ARR[i], after destroying the balloon it travels at height ARR[i]-1. The player wins this game if he destroys all the balloons in minimum arrows.

You have to return the minimum arrows required to complete the task.

You have been given a singly Linked List of integers. Your task is to divide this list into two smaller singly-linked lists in which the nodes appear in alternating fashion from the original list.

For example:
If the given linked list is 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5 -> NULL

The first sub-list is 1 -> 3 -> 5 -> NULL.
The second sub-list is 2 -> 4 -> NULL.

If it is impossible to make any of the two smaller sub-lists, return an empty list i.e. NULL.
