Question 1

What should be done if the target node to delete is the first node in the list?

A. Delete it directly.
B. Copy the next node's value and delete the next node.
C. Nothing needs to be done.

💡 Hint: Think about how the first node's position will need to be kept stable.

Question 2

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You are given a linked list. Implement a python function that deletes all occurrences of a specific value from the list. Ensure you handle the first node and tail correctly.

💡 Hint: Consider how you'll check both the first node and the subsequent nodes.

Challenge 2 Hard

Develop a recursive method that deletes the last node of a linked list and ensures the list property is maintained without leaving any dangling references.

💡 Hint: Think about how the recursion can simplify the process of following the chain of nodes.
