Question

EDIT: Figured out the problem. Also if you found this through google or another search engine here is where I went wrong and how to fix it.

Answer 1

Removing a given node n from a singly-linked list can be boiled down to this operation:

• Set the pointer that points to n to point instead to n->next.

You can break this down into two operations:

• Find the pointer that points to n;
• Set that pointer to n->next.

The complication arises because the pointer that points to n might either be the p->next field of the previous node in the list, or the head pointer (if n is the first node in the list).

Your code does not appear to be complete - it doesn't ever set the ->next field of any node to anything, so it's hard to say what's actually wrong.
