LinkedList | SET 3 (DELETING A NODE) Source

[What It Is](#what-it-is) ## What It Is We have discussed **[Linked List Introduction](https://github.com/Dentrax/Data-Structures-with-Go/tree/master/linked-list-1-introduction)** and **[Linked List Insertion](https://github.com/Dentrax/Data-Structures-with-Go/tree/master/linked-list-2-inserting-a-node)** in previous posts on singly linked list. Let us formulate the problem statement to understand the deletion process. Given a `key`, delete the first occurrence of this key in linked list. To delete a node from linked list, we need to do following steps. * 1) Find previous node of the node to be deleted. * 2) Changed next of previous node. * 3) Free memory for the node to be deleted. > * Input: Linked List = `[7 -> 1 -> 3 -> 2]` > * Output: Created Linked List `[2 -> 3 -> 1 -> 7]` > * Output: Linked List after Deletion of 1: `[2 -> 3 -> 7]` > * Input: Position = 1, Linked List = `[8 -> 2 -> 3 -> 1 -> 7]` > * Output: Linked List = `[8 -> 3 -> 1 -> 7]` > * Input: Position = 0, Linked List = `[8 -> 2 -> 3 -> 1 -> 7]` > * Output: Linked List = `[2 -> 3 -> 1 -> 7]` **Algorithm Complexity** | Complexity | Notation | | ----------------- |:---------:| | `Time Complexity` | `O(1)` |
