Title:
Given a linked list, each node contains an additional random pointer that can point to any node or null node in the list.
It is required to return the Deep copy.
Example:
Train of thought:
1. Using hashmap, it is divided into two parts. Traverse the original linked list, do not do anything with random, and store the generated new nodes in hashmap. Traverse the original linked list again, only link its random part, and get the nodes of the new linked list from hashmap
2. Create a new list, link the new list to the back of the old one, a1b1a2b2a3b3 In the form of anbn, a is the old table and B is the new table. For the second time, traverse the new table from the beginning to access the random of the old table. The next random is the current node's random
