You are given two sorted linked lists. You have to merge them to produce a combined sorted linked list. You need to return the head of the final linked list.

Note:

The given linked lists may or may not be null.

For example:

If the first list is: 1 -> 4 -> 5 -> NULL and the second list is: 2 -> 3 -> 5 -> NULL

The final list would be: 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5 -> 5 -> NULL

You have been given two singly Linked Lists, where each of them represents a positive number without any leading zeros.

Your task is to add these two numbers and print the summation in the form of a linked list.

Example:
If the first linked list is 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5 -> NULL and the second linked list is 4 -> 5 -> NULL.

The two numbers represented by these two lists are 12345 and 45, respectively. So, adding these two numbers gives 12390. 

So, the linked list representation of this number is 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 9 -> 0 -> NULL.

Note: There are no duplicate pairs in the prerequisites array.

For example-
If N = 2 and prerequisite = [[1, 2]]. Then, there are a total of 2 courses you need to take. To take course 1 you need to finish course 2. So, it is possible to complete all courses.
