Given an integer n, find a sequence that satisfies all of the following:

\n\n\n\n

The distance between two numbers on the sequence, a[i] and a[j], is the absolute difference of their indices, |j - i|.

\n\n

Return the lexicographically largest sequence. It is guaranteed that under the given constraints, there is always a solution.

\n\n

A sequence a is lexicographically larger than a sequence b (of the same length) if in the first position where a and b differ, sequence a has a number greater than the corresponding number in b. For example, [0,1,9,0] is lexicographically larger than [0,1,5,6] because the first position they differ is at the third number, and 9 is greater than 5.

Example 1:

\n\n
\nInput: n = 3\nOutput: [3,1,2,3,2]\nExplanation: [2,3,2,1,3] is also a valid sequence, but [3,1,2,3,2] is the lexicographically largest valid sequence.\n
\n\n

Example 2:

\n\n
\nInput: n = 5\nOutput: [5,3,1,4,3,5,2,4,2]\n
