Add two numbers represented by linked lists

Given two numbers represented by two lists, write a function that returns sum list. The sum list is list representation of addition of two input numbers.

Algo:

  1. take the input and reverse the lists.
  2. then add the digits while noting the sum and carry.
  3. psuh the sum into the new list
