Question 1 Easy

What happens when we try to delete a node from an empty linked list?

💡 Hint: Consider what a linked list contains.

Question 2 Easy

If we have a single node linked list with value 5, what happens if we delete that node?

💡 Hint: What do you think happens to the head pointer?

Interactive Quizzes

Quick quizzes to reinforce your learning

Question 1

What is the first check performed in a recursive delete function?

Check if the list is empty
Check if the first node is the target
Check if we have reached the end

💡 Hint: Think about what you see in a linked list.

Question 2

In what scenario do we bypass the next node?

When the next node is None
When the node to delete is found
When reaching the head

💡 Hint: This situation directly relates to the node we want to delete.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Implement a recursive function to delete all instances of a specific value from a linked list. Ensure that the list maintains its integrity after each deletion.

💡 Hint: You need to handle base cases and recursive calls carefully.

Challenge 2 Hard

Describe how you might handle memory management in languages that require manual allocation, ensuring that no memory leaks occur after node deletions.

💡 Hint: Think about what happens after a node is no longer needed.
