281. Zigzag Iterator

Given two 1d vectors, implement an iterator to return their elements alternately.

Example:

Input:

v1 = [1,2]
v2 = [3,4,5,6] 


Output:
[1,3,2,4,5,6]


Explanation:
 By calling 
next
 repeatedly until 
hasNext
 returns 
false
, 
             the order of elements returned by 
next
 should be: 
[1,3,2,4,5,6]
.

Follow up: What if you are givenk1d vectors? How well can your code be extended to such cases?

Clarificationfor the follow up question:
The "Zigzag" order is not clearly defined and is ambiguous fork > 2cases. If "Zigzag" does not look right to you, replace "Zigzag" with "Cyclic". For example:

Input:

[1,2,3]
[4,5,6,7]
[8,9]


Output: 
[1,4,8,2,5,9,3,6,7]
