280 Wiggle Sort

Given an unsorted array nums, reorder it in-place such that nums[0] <= nums[1] >= nums[2] <= nums[3]....

For example, given nums = [3, 5, 2, 1, 6, 4], one possible answer is [1, 6, 2, 5, 3, 4].

      sort((*wiggleIt).begin(), (*wiggleIt).end()); // lazy :(

      // if even, ignore last element to make this alg simpler
      int temp = (*wiggleIt).at(size - 1);
      if (size % 2 == 0) (*wiggleIt).erase((*wiggleIt).begin()+size-1);

      for (int i = 1; i < size - 1; i+=2) iter_swap((*wiggleIt).begin() + i, (*wiggleIt).begin() + i + 1);

      if (size % 2 == 0) (*wiggleIt).insert((*wiggleIt).end(), temp);
