[LeetCode]84. Remove Linked List Elements移除链表元素

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

解法1：（1）如果链表最前面的若干个元素就是待删除元素，则删除之；（2）如果此时链表非空，则定义两个指针curr和next指向相邻两个节点，并不断往后遍历。如果next指向节点待删除节点，则删除之。直到next元素为尾节点。

/**
* Definition for singly-linked list.
* struct ListNode {
*     int val;
*     ListNode *next;
*     ListNode(int x) : val(x), next(NULL) {}
* };
*/
class Solution {
public:
ListNode* removeElements(ListNode* head, int val) {
while(head != NULL && head->val == val) {
ListNode* del = head;
head = head->next;
delete del;
}
if(head == NULL) return NULL;
ListNode *curr = head, *next = head->next;
while(next != NULL) {
if(next->val == val) {
ListNode* del = next;
next = next->next;
curr->next = next;
delete del;
}
else {
curr = next;
next = next->next;
}
}
return head;
}
};

注意next节点为待删除节点和非删除节点时处理的差异。

解法2：更方便的方法是在头节点前加入一个辅助节点，那么处理头节点就可以和处理普通节点一样了。

/**
* Definition for singly-linked list.
* struct ListNode {
*     int val;
*     ListNode *next;
*     ListNode(int x) : val(x), next(NULL) {}
* };
*/
class Solution {
public:
ListNode* removeElements(ListNode* head, int val) {
ListNode* help = new ListNode(0);
help->next = head;
ListNode *curr = help, *next = head;
while(next != NULL) {
if(next->val == val) {
ListNode* del = next;
next = next->next;
curr->next = next;
delete del;
}
else {
curr = next;
next = next->next;
}
}
return help->next;
}
};
