Flatten a Multilevel Doubly Linked List

Image
You are given a doubly linked list which in addition to the next and previous pointers, it could have a child pointer, which may or may not point to a separate doubly linked list. These child lists may have one or more children of their own, and so on, to produce a multilevel data structure, as shown in the example below. Flatten the list so that all the nodes appear in a single-level, doubly linked list. You are given the head of the first level of the list.   Example 1: Input: head = [1,2,3,4,5,6,null,null,null,7,8,9,10,null,null,11,12] Output: [1,2,3,7,8,11,12,9,10,4,5,6] Explanation: The multilevel linked list in the input is as follows: After flattening the multilevel linked list it becomes: Example 2: Input: head = [1,2,null,3] Output: [1,3,2] Explanation: The input multilevel linked list is as follows: 1---2---NULL | 3---NULL Example 3: Input: head = [] Output: []   How multilevel linked list is represented in test case: We use the
