Description

A linked list is given such that each node contains an additional random pointer which could point to any node in the list or null.

Return a deep copy of the list.

- Challenge

Could you solve it with O(1) space?

Code - C++

/**
 * Definition for singly-linked list with a random pointer.
 * struct RandomListNode {
 *     int label;
 *     RandomListNode *next, *random;
 *     RandomListNode(int x) : label(x), next(NULL), random(NULL) {}
 * };

class Solution {
public:
    /**
     * @param head: The head of linked list with a random pointer.
     * @return: A new head of a deep copy of the list.
     */
    void copyNext(RandomListNode* head) {
        while (head != NULL) {
            RandomListNode* newNode = new RandomListNode(head->label);
            newNode->random = head->random;

        // write your code here
