reorder

Language/Type: PHP Stack Queue collections

Write a function named reorder that accepts as a parameter an array queue of integers that are already sorted by absolute value, and modifies it so that the integers are sorted normally.

For example, if a queue variable named $q stores the following elements:

front [1, -2, 4, 5, -7, -9, -12, 28, -34] back

Then the call of reorder($q) should modify it to store the following values:

front [-34, -12, -9, -7, -2, 1, 4, 5, 28] back

Constraints: You may use a single stack as auxiliary storage.

A note about references in PHP: In order to write a function passes a parameter as reference (thus modifying its state), you'll need to prepend "&" to the variable declaration in the function header. For example, a function foo that modifies the state of an array parameter may be defined as:

function foo(&$arr) { ... }
Function: Write a PHP function as described, not a complete program.
