Interlace odd / even from A to B.
Two numbers A and B are passed as input. The program must print the odd numbers from A to B (inclusive of A and B) interlaced with the even numbers from B to A.
Input Format:
The first line denotes the value of A.
The second line denotes the value of B.
The first line denotes the value of A.
The second line denotes the value of B.
Output Format:
The odd and even numbers interlaced, each separated by a space.
The odd and even numbers interlaced, each separated by a space.
Boundary Conditions:
1 <= A <= 9999999
A < B <= 9999999
1 <= A <= 9999999
A < B <= 9999999
Example Input/Output 1:
Input:
5
11
Input:
5
11
Output:
5 10 7 8 9 6 11
5 10 7 8 9 6 11
Explanation:
The odd numbers from 5 to 11 are 5 7 9 11
The even numbers from 11 to 5 (that is in reverse direction) are 10 8 6
So these numbers are interlaced to produce 5 10 7 8 9 6 11
The odd numbers from 5 to 11 are 5 7 9 11
The even numbers from 11 to 5 (that is in reverse direction) are 10 8 6
So these numbers are interlaced to produce 5 10 7 8 9 6 11
Example Input/Output 2:
Input:
4
14
Input:
4
14
Output:
14 5 12 7 10 9 8 11 6 13 4
14 5 12 7 10 9 8 11 6 13 4
Explanation:
The odd numbers from 4 to 14 are 5 7 9 11 13
The even numbers from 14 to 4 (that is in reverse direction) are 14 12 10 8 6 4
So these numbers are interlaced to produce 14 5 12 7 10 9 8 11 6 13 4
(Here as the even numbers count are more than the odd numbers count we start with the even number in the output)
The odd numbers from 4 to 14 are 5 7 9 11 13
The even numbers from 14 to 4 (that is in reverse direction) are 14 12 10 8 6 4
So these numbers are interlaced to produce 14 5 12 7 10 9 8 11 6 13 4

Example Input/Output 3:
Input:
3
12
Input:
3
12
Output:
3 12 5 10 7 8 9 6 11 4
3 12 5 10 7 8 9 6 11 4
Explanation:
The odd numbers from 3 to 12 are 3 5 7 9 11
The even numbers from 12 to 3 (that is in reverse direction) are 12 10 8 6 4
So these numbers are interlaced to produce 3 12 5 10 7 8 9 6 11 4
The odd numbers from 3 to 12 are 3 5 7 9 11
The even numbers from 12 to 3 (that is in reverse direction) are 12 10 8 6 4
So these numbers are interlaced to produce 3 12 5 10 7 8 9 6 11 4
