Flattening a Multilevel Linked List into a Single Level
Extracting Elements:
Initially, all elements from the multilevel linked list were extracted and collected, traversing both next and bottom pointers to compile a comprehensive list of values.
BST Construction:
To ensure the flattened list is sorted, the collected values were then used to construct a Binary Search Tree (BST). This step leverages the BST's inherent sorting capability, arranging the elements in ascending order through in-order traversal.
LinkedList Reconstruction:
Finally, the sorted elements from the BST were used to construct a new, single-level linked list. This reconstructed list contains all original elements, now sorted and accessible via the bottom pointer, effectively achieving a flattened structure.
