Delete Node in a Linked List

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

Supposed the linked list is 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 and you are given the third node with value 3, the linked list should become 1 -> 2 -> 4 after calling your function.

Solution:

/**
 * Definition for singly-linked list.
 * struct ListNode {
 *     int val;
 *     ListNode *next;
 *     ListNode(int x) : val(x), next(NULL) {}
 * };
 */
class Solution {
public:
    void deleteNode(ListNode* node) {
        if (node == NULL)
            return;
        if (node -> next != NULL) {
            ListNode* temp = node -> next;
            node -> val = node -> next -> val;
            node -> next = node -> next -> next;
            delete(temp);
        }
        return;
    }
};
