Description: Given a sorted linked list, delete all duplicates such that each element appear only once.

思路: 我们会如何删除list的重复元素呢？很简单，我们会记录前一个元素的值，然后与当前元素进行比较，相同则略过，不同则加入要返回的list中。。那么我们只需要将对list的操作换成链表就可以了，但特别值得注意的是，我们如果结尾两个元素相同，我们将倒数第二个元素加入新的链表，一定要将node.next = None，否则就会将后面的全部加入，是错的。

a = [1,1,2,3,3]
pre = a[0]
b = []
b.append(pre)
for i in a[1:]:
    if i != pre:
        b.append(i)
        pre = i
print(b)    

换成linkedlist:

# Definition for singly-linked list.
# class ListNode(object):
#     def __init__(self, val=0, next=None):
#         self.val = val
#         self.next = next
class Solution(object):
    def deleteDuplicates(self, head):
        """
        :type head: ListNode
        :rtype: ListNode
        """
        if not head: return head
        if not head.next: return head
        
        rhead = head
        r = rhead
        p = head.next
        pre = head.val
        while p:
            # print(pre)
            if p.val != pre:
                pre = p.val
                r.next = p
                r = r.next
            p = p.next
        r.next = None
        return rhead      

如果直接在原链表上进行删除，不添加新的链表，时间会增加，空间会稍减少：

# Definition for singly-linked list.
# class ListNode(object):
#     def __init__(self, val=0, next=None):
#         self.val = val
#         self.next = next
class Solution(object):
    def deleteDuplicates(self, head):
        """
        :type head: ListNode
        :rtype: ListNode
        """
        if not head: return head
        if not head.next: return head
        
        pre = head # moving node of the returned linkedlist
        cur = head.next
        while cur:
            if cur.val == pre.val:
                pre.next = cur.next  #remove current node
            else:
                pre.next = cur #join current node
                pre = pre.next #point to the next
            cur = cur.next
        return head
