Description#
Given the head of a sorted linked list, delete all duplicates such that each element appears only once. Return the linked list sorted as well.
Example 1:
Input: head = [1,1,2]
Output: [1,2]
Example 2:
Input: head = [1,1,2,3,3]
Output: [1,2,3]
Constraints:
- The number of nodes in the list is in the range
[0, 300]. -100 <= Node.val <= 100- The list is guaranteed to be sorted in ascending order.
Solutions#
Solution 1: Single Pass#
We use a pointer $cur$ to traverse the linked list. If the element corresponding to the current $cur$ is the same as the element corresponding to $cur.next$, we set the $next$ pointer of $cur$ to point to the next node of $cur.next$. Otherwise, it means that the element corresponding to $cur$ in the linked list is not duplicated, so we can move the $cur$ pointer to the next node.
After the traversal ends, return the head node of the linked list.
The time complexity is $O(n)$, where $n$ is the length of the linked list. The space complexity is $O(1)$.
