Given a singly linked list, return a random node's value from the linked list. Each node must have the same probability of being chosen.
\n\nImplement the Solution
class:
Solution(ListNode head)
Initializes the object with the head of the singly-linked list head
.int getRandom()
Chooses a node randomly from the list and returns its value. All the nodes of the list should be equally likely to be chosen.\n
Example 1:
\n\n\nInput\n["Solution", "getRandom", "getRandom", "getRandom", "getRandom", "getRandom"]\n[[[1, 2, 3]], [], [], [], [], []]\nOutput\n[null, 1, 3, 2, 2, 3]\n\nExplanation\nSolution solution = new Solution([1, 2, 3]);\nsolution.getRandom(); // return 1\nsolution.getRandom(); // return 3\nsolution.getRandom(); // return 2\nsolution.getRandom(); // return 2\nsolution.getRandom(); // return 3\n// getRandom() should return either 1, 2, or 3 randomly. Each element should have equal probability of returning.\n\n\n

Constraints:
