Introduction Link to heading

Write a function to delete a node (except the tail) in a singly linked list, given only access to that node.

Given linked list – head = [4,5,1,9], which looks like following:

Example 1:

Input: head = [4,5,1,9], node = 5
Output: [4,1,9]
Explanation: You are given the second node with value 5, the linked list should become 4 -> 1 -> 9 after calling your function.

Example 2:

Input: head = [4,5,1,9], node = 1
Output: [4,5,9]
Explanation: You are given the third node with value 1, the linked list should become 4 -> 5 -> 9 after calling your function.

Note:

The linked list will have at least two elements.
All of the nodes' values will be unique.
The given node will not be the tail and it will always be a valid node of the linked list.
Do not return anything from your function.

/**
 * Definition for singly-linked list.
 * type ListNode struct {
 *     Val int
 *     Next *ListNode
 * }
 */
func deleteNode(node *ListNode) {
    if node != nil {
        prev := node
        for i := node; i.Next != nil; i = i.Next {
            i.Val = i.Next.Val
            prev = i
        }
        prev.Next = nil
    }
}
