You are given a 0-indexed integer array nums. Rearrange the values of nums according to the following rules:

\n\n
    \n\t
  1. Sort the values at odd indices of nums in non-increasing order.\n\n\t\n\t
  2. \n\t
  3. Sort the values at even indices of nums in non-decreasing order.\n\t\n\t
  4. \n
\n\n

Return the array formed after rearranging the values of nums.

Example 1:

\n\n
\nInput: nums = [4,1,2,3]\nOutput: [2,3,4,1]\nExplanation: \nFirst, we sort the values present at odd indices (1 and 3) in non-increasing order.\nSo, nums changes from [4,1,2,3] to [4,3,2,1].\nNext, we sort the values present at even indices (0 and 2) in non-decreasing order.\nSo, nums changes from [4,1,2,3] to [2,3,4,1].\nThus, the array formed after rearranging the values is [2,3,4,1].\n
\n\n

Example 2:

\n\n
\nInput: nums = [2,1]\nOutput: [2,1]\nExplanation: \nSince there is exactly one odd index and one even index, no rearrangement of values takes place.\nThe resultant array formed is [2,1], which is the same as the initial array. \n
