Problem
Given the array nums consisting of 2n elements in the form [x<sub>1</sub>,x<sub>2</sub>,...,x<sub>n</sub>,y<sub>1</sub>,y<sub>2</sub>,...,y<sub>n</sub>].
<p>Return the array in the form <code>[x<sub>1</sub>,y<sub>1</sub>,x<sub>2</sub>,y<sub>2</sub>,…,x<sub>n</sub>,y<sub>n</sub>]</code>.</p>
Examples
Explanation: Since x<sub>1</sub>=2, x<sub>2</sub>=5, x<sub>3</sub>=1, y<sub>1</sub>=3, y<sub>2</sub>=4, y<sub>3</sub>=7 then the answer is [2,3,5,4,1,7].
Constraints
- 1 <= n <= 500
- nums.length == 2n
- 1 <= nums[i] <= 10^3
