Question

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:

list1
Input: head = [1,1,2]
Output: [1,2]

Example 2:

list2
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.

Python Solution

# Definition for singly-linked list.
# class ListNode:
#     def __init__(self, x):
#         self.val = x
#         self.next = None

class Solution:
    def deleteDuplicates(self, head: ListNode) -> ListNode:
        if head==None:
            return 
        elif head.next==None:
            return head
        else:
            moving = head
            stable = head
            while moving.next!=None:
                if moving.next.val!=moving.val:
                    stable.next = moving.next
                    stable = moving.next
                moving = moving.next

            stable.next=None        
            return head
