🚀#3217: Delete Nodes from Linked List present in an Array Recently, I explored an interesting problem involving the removal of specific nodes from a linked list based on a given list of values. 💡 Problem Overview: Given a linked list and a list of numbers nums, the task is to delete all nodes whose values are present in nums. 🔍 Approach Summary: 1️⃣ Convert nums into a set for constant time lookups. 2️⃣ Traverse the linked list using two pointers, curr (current node) and prev (previous node). 3️⃣ If the current node’s value is in the set: - If it’s the head, move the head forward. - Otherwise, link the previous node to the next node, effectively removing the current one. 4️⃣ Continue traversing until all matching nodes are removed. ✨ Key Learnings: - Utilizing a set improves efficiency for value lookups. - Careful handling of the head node prevents pointer issues. - Clean traversal logic leads to better readability and fewer edge case errors. #Python #DataStructures #LinkedList #Coding #ProblemSolving #LeetCode #DSA #LearningJourney
