LeetCodeArrayGreedyUnion-FindSortingOpen on judge ↗

You are given an integer array nums. You want to maximize the alternating sum of nums, which is defined as the value obtained by adding elements at even indices and subtracting elements at odd indices. That is, nums[0] - nums[1] + nums[2] - nums[3]... You are also given a 2D integer array swaps where swaps[i] = [pi, qi]. For each pair [pi, qi] in swaps, you are allowed to swap the elements at in
