You are given an arbitrary linked list consisting of 'N' nodes having integer values. You need to perform insertion sort on the linked list and print the final list in sorted order.

In other words, you are given a singly linked list, you need to perform insertion sort on it.

Insertion Sort is a sorting algorithm that removes one element from the input data, finds the location it belongs within the sorted list and inserts it there. It repeats until no input elements remain.

You must implement the Stack data structure using a Singly Linked List.


Create a class named 'Stack' which supports the following operations(all in O(1) time):


getSize: Returns an integer. Gets the current size of the stack

isEmpty: Returns a boolean. Gets whether the stack is empty

push: Returns nothing. Accepts an integer. Puts that integer at the top of the stack

pop: Returns nothing. Removes the top element of the stack. It does nothing if the stack is empty.

getTop: Returns an integer. Gets the top element of the stack. Returns -1 if the stack is empty

Ninja has a number ‘N’. He wants to print the pattern in such a way that the outer rectangle is of the number ‘N’ and the number goes on decreasing as we move inside the rectangles.

For example, if ‘N’ = 4, then pattern will be:
