Description#
You are given the head
of a linked list and two integers m
and n
.
Traverse the linked list and remove some nodes in the following way:
- Start with the head as the current node.
- Keep the first
m
nodes starting with the current node. - Remove the next
n
nodes - Keep repeating steps 2 and 3 until you reach the end of the list.
Return the head of the modified list after removing the mentioned nodes.
Example 1:
![](https://spcdn.pages.dev/leetcode/problems/1474.Delete%20N%20Nodes%20After%20M%20Nodes%20of%20a%20Linked%20List/images/sample_1_1848.png)
Input: head = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13], m = 2, n = 3
Output: [1,2,6,7,11,12]
Explanation: Keep the first (m = 2) nodes starting from the head of the linked List (1 ->2) show in black nodes.
Delete the next (n = 3) nodes (3 -> 4 -> 5) show in read nodes.
Continue with the same procedure until reaching the tail of the Linked List.
Head of the linked list after removing nodes is returned.
Example 2:
![](https://spcdn.pages.dev/leetcode/problems/1474.Delete%20N%20Nodes%20After%20M%20Nodes%20of%20a%20Linked%20List/images/sample_2_1848.png)
Input: head = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11], m = 1, n = 3
Output: [1,5,9]
Explanation: Head of linked list after removing nodes is returned.
Constraints:
- The number of nodes in the list is in the range
[1, 104]
. 1 <= Node.val <= 106
1 <= m, n <= 1000
Follow up: Could you solve this problem by modifying the list in-place?
