[leetcode] problem 237 – delete node in a linked list

Write a function to delete a node (except the tail) in a singly linked list, given only access to that node.

Given linked list – head = [4,5,1,9], which looks like following:

Example

No.1

Input: head = [4,5,1,9], node = 5

Output: [4,1,9]

Explanation: You are given the second node with value 5, the linked list should become 4 -> 1 -> 9 after calling your function.

No.2

Input: head = [4,5,1,9], node = 1

Output: [4,5,9]

Explanation: You are given the third node with value 1, the linked list should become 4 -> 5 -> 9 after calling your function.

Note

  • The linked list will have at least two elements.
  • All of the nodes’ values will be unique.
  • The given node will not be the tail and it will always be a valid node of the linked list.
  • Do not return anything from your function.
