667\. Beautiful Arrangement II
Medium
Given two integers `n` and `k`, construct a list `answer` that contains `n` different positive integers ranging from `1` to `n` and obeys the following requirement:
* Suppose this list is answer = [a1, a2, a3, ... , an]
, then the list [|a1 - a2|, |a2 - a3|, |a3 - a4|, ... , |an-1 - an|]
has exactly `k` distinct integers.
Return _the list_ `answer`. If there multiple valid answers, return **any of them**.
**Example 1:**
**Input:** n = 3, k = 1
**Output:** [1,2,3] Explanation: The [1,2,3] has three different positive integers ranging from 1 to 3, and the [1,1] has exactly 1 distinct integer: 1
**Example 2:**
**Input:** n = 3, k = 2
**Output:** [1,3,2] Explanation: The [1,3,2] has three different positive integers ranging from 1 to 3, and the [2,1] has exactly 2 distinct integers: 1 and 2.
**Constraints:**
* 1 <= k < n <= 104
