List-remove element

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.

Supposed the linked list is 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 and you are given the third node with value 3, the linked list should become 1 -> 2 -> 4 after calling your function.

/**
 * Definition for singly-linked list.
 * public class ListNode {
 *     int val;
 *     ListNode next;
 *     ListNode(int x) { val = x; }
 * }
 */
class Solution {
    public void deleteNode(ListNode node) {
        node.val = node.next.val;
        node.next = node.next.next;
    }
}

203. Remove Linked List Elements

Remove all elements from a linked list of integers that have value val.

Example
Given: 1 --> 2 --> 6 --> 3 --> 4 --> 5 --> 6, val = 6
Return: 1 --> 2 --> 3 --> 4 --> 5

/**
 * Definition for singly-linked list.
 * public class ListNode {
 *     int val;
 *     ListNode next;
 *     ListNode(int x) { val = x; }
 * }
 */

class Solution {
    public ListNode removeElements(ListNode head, int val) {
        ListNode dummpy = new ListNode(0);
        dummpy.next = head;
        head = dummpy;
        while(head.next!=null){
            if(head.next.val == val){
                head.next = head.next.next;
            }else{
                head = head.next;
            }
        }
        return dummpy.next;
    }
}

82. Remove Duplicates from Sorted List II

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.

/**
 * Definition for singly-linked list.
 * public class ListNode {
 *     int val;
 *     ListNode next;
 *     ListNode(int x) { val = x; }
 * }
 */
//因为可能原先的头结点也存在重复，所以头结点不确定，这时候可以考虑使用dummpy Node
class Solution {
    public ListNode deleteDuplicates(ListNode head) {
        ListNode dummpy = new ListNode(0);
        dummpy.next = head;
        head = dummpy;
        while(head.next!=null && head.next.next!=null){
            if(head.next.val == head.next.next.val){
                //删掉所有重复的元素
                int val = head.next.val;
                while(head.next != null && head.next.val == val){
                    head.next = head.next.next;
                }
            }else{
                //往后移动一位
                head = head.next;
            }
        }
        return dummpy.next;
    }
}
