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.
Problem approach

I solved the problem in python. I started from the head node and traversed the list. While traversing swap data of each node with its next node’s data.

It was again very professional and the interviewer was very friendly. So I would say it is a more friendly discussion than an interview. We talked about my education, goals, and achievements and we had in-depth discussion about my future goals

1. Basic HR Questions

What you want to do in the future?

Where you see yourself after 5 years?

What are your weaknesses?

Problem approach

Tip 1 : Be honest while answering 
Tip 2 : Keep the answer precise to the point 
Tip 3 : Smile...while answering. Be happy don't take any stress even if you are not feeling confident. 
Tip 4 : Give answer in the language in which you are confident. English is good but not must
