You are given a singly linked list of integers.

Your task is to swap every two adjacent nodes, and return the head of the modified, linked list.

For Example:

We have a linked list 1->2->3->4->5->6->7 and so on. You are supposed to swap pairs of a linked list like swap (1,2), (3,4), (5,6), and so on.
Note:
1. You may not modify the data in the list’s nodes; only nodes themselves may be changed. Because imagine a case where a node contains many fields, so there will be too much unnecessary swap.

2. If a pair of a node does not exist, then leave the node as it is.

GrowwOlaMercedes-Benz Research and Development India

Given an array of integers, print the minimum of the absolute difference of all possible pairs of elements.

Example :
N = 5
ARR = [ 3, -6, 7, -7, 0 ]
Out of all pairs, (-7,-6) have a difference of ‘1’, and no other pair has less difference. So ‘ANS’ is ‘1’.

Problem approach

The kernel is basically a computer program usually considered as a central component or module of OS. It is responsible for handling, managing, and controlling all operations of computer systems and hardware. Whenever the system starts, the kernel is loaded first and remains in the main memory. It also acts as an interface between user applications and hardware.
