I think hasNext() in this case shouldn't just return true if there is an iterator in the queue, but it should also check if the iterator inside the queue hasNext()

class Solution {
     private Queue<Integer> queueFirst;
    private Solution(){
        queueFirst = new LinkedList<>();
    }

    public Solution(List<Integer> v1, List<Integer> v2) {
        queueFirst = new LinkedList<>();
        boolean toggle = true;
        int v1Index = 0;
        int v2Index = 0;
        while(!(v1Index==v1.size()) || !(v2Index==v2.size())){
            if(!(v1Index==v1.size())){
                queueFirst.add(v1.get(v1Index++));
            }
            if(!(v2Index==v2.size())){
                queueFirst.add(v2.get(v2Index++));
            }
        }
    }

    public int next() {
        if(!queueFirst.isEmpty()){
            return queueFirst.poll();
        }
        return -1;
    }

    public boolean hasNext() {
        return !queueFirs

What is the benefit of using Queue for this purpose and use additional space - instead of simply having reference of the 2 queues and switching between them?
