Remove Duplicates in Sorted Linked List

Source: DEV Community

In this task, I worked on removing duplicate elements from a sorted linked list. Since the list is already sorted, duplicate values will always appear next to each other. What I Did I created a function removeDuplicates that: Takes the head of a linked list Removes duplicate nodes Returns the modified list with only unique elements How I Solved It Instead of using extra space , I used a simple pointer traversal. Approach I used one pointer: curr → starts from the head and traverses the list Logic Behind It At each step: Compare the current node with the next node If both values are the same: Skip the next node → curr.next = curr.next.next Otherwise: Move to the next node → curr = curr.next Code class ListNode: def __init__(self, val=0, next=None): self.val = val self.next = next def removeDuplicates(head): curr = head while curr and curr.next: if curr.val == curr.next.val: curr.next = curr.next.next else: curr = curr.next return head How It Works Because the list is sorted: All duplica
