[LeetCode] 82. Remove Duplicates from Sorted List II 从分类列表中删除重复项目 II @python

Description

Given a sorted linked list, delete all nodes that have duplicate numbers, leaving only distinct numbers from the original list.

For example,
Given 1->2->3->3->4->4->5, return 1->2->5.
Given 1->1->1->2->3, return 2->3.

---

给定一个有序的链表，删除所有有重复数字的节点，只保留原始列表中唯一的数字。

例如：
给定 1->2->3->3->4->4->5 ，则返回 1->2->5
给定 1->1->1->2->3 ，则返回 2->3

---

Solution

本题使用双指针，pre 和 cur， pre指向表头。只有当pre的指向与cur的指向不同时，pre才移动到cur的指向，碰到重复的项目，则cur移动一位，直到两个指针指向不同。注意当pre.next == cur的情况。
