Distant Barcodes
<p>In a warehouse, there is a row of barcodes, where the <code>i<sup>th</sup></code> barcode is <code>barcodes[i]</code>.</p>

<p>Rearrange the barcodes so that no two adjacent barcodes are equal. You may return any answer, and it is guaranteed an answer exists.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong class="example">Example 1:</strong></p>
<pre><strong>Input:</strong> barcodes = [1,1,1,2,2,2]
<strong>Output:</strong> [2,1,2,1,2,1]
</pre><p><strong class="example">Example 2:</strong></p>
<pre><strong>Input:</strong> barcodes = [1,1,1,1,2,2,3,3]
<strong>Output:</strong> [1,3,1,3,1,2,1,2]
</pre>

<ul>
	<li><code>1 &lt;= barcodes.length &lt;= 10000</code></li>
	<li><code>1 &lt;= barcodes[i] &lt;= 10000</code></li>
