Insert a node at the head of a linked list

You’re given the pointer to the head node of a linked list and an integer to add to the list. Create a new node with the given integer, insert this node at the head of the linked list and return the new head node. The head pointer given may be null meaning that the initial list is empty.

Input Format

You have to complete the SinglyLinkedListNode Insert(SinglyLinkedListNode head, int data) method which takes two arguments - the head of the linked list and the integer to insert. You should NOT read any input from stdin/console.

The input is handled by code in the editor and is as follows:

The first line contains an integer , denoting the number of elements to be inserted at the head of the list. 
The next  lines contain an integer each, denoting the element to be inserted.

Constraints

Output Format

Insert the new node at the head and return the head of the updated linked list. Do NOT print anything to stdout/console.

The output is handled by the code in the editor and it is as follows:

Print the elements of linked list from head to tail, each in a new line.

Sample Input

5
383
484
392
975
321

Sample Output

321
975
392
484
383

Explanation

Intially the list in NULL. After inserting 383, the list is 383 -> NULL. 
After inserting 484, the list is 484 -> 383 -> NULL. 
After inserting 392, the list is 392 -> 484 -> 383 -> NULL. 
After inserting 975, the list is 975 -> 392 -> 484 -> 383 -> NULL. 
After inserting 321, the list is 321 -> 975 -> 392 -> 484 -> 383 -> NULL.




이 문제는 앞의 문제와 반대로, Tail에 새로운 노드를 추가하는 것이 아니라, Head에 새로운 노드를 추가하는 것이다.

Tail에 추가하는 것보다는 오히려 더 간단하다.

항상 Head 노드가 인자로 전달되고, 새로운 노드를 Head로 변경해주면 끝.
