82. Remove Duplicates from Sorted List II - Medium

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

Example 1:

Input: 1->2->3->3->4->4->5
Output: 1->2->5

Example 2:

Input: 1->1->1->2->3
Output: 2->3

 

因为需要移走所有重复的元素，可能head会被移除，因而需要一个dummy node

time: O(n), space: O(1)
