[leetcode_24] Swap Nodes in Pairs

This problem is essentially a simulation problem — swap ListNode nodes in pairs, based on nodes rather than values. It’s fairly simple, but I struggled with it for quite a while. Got AC on the first try, but I feel like my code never looks elegant and lacks reusability. My logic needs improvement. Still need to keep working hard.
Here is the code:
