Golang Program to delete the last node from a linked list.

Examples

Approach to solve this problem −

Step 1 − Define a method that accepts the head of a linked list.

Step 2 − If head == nil, return the head.

Step 3 − Go to the next node and return the updated head.

Example

 Live Demo

package main
import (
   "fmt"
)
type Node struct {
   value int
   next *Node
}
func NewNode(value int, next *Node) *Node{
   var n Node
   n.value = value
   n.next = next
   return &n
}
func TraverseLinkedList(head *Node){
   temp := head
   for temp != nil {
      fmt.Printf("%d ", temp.value)
      temp = temp.next
   }
   fmt.Println()
}
func DeleteLastNode(head *Node) *Node{
   if head == nil{
      return head
   }
   temp := head
   for temp.next.next != nil{
      temp = temp.next
   }
   temp.next = nil
   return head
}
func main(){
   head := NewNode(30, NewNode(10, NewNode(40, NewNode(40, nil))))
   fmt.Printf("Input Linked list is: ")
   TraverseLinkedList(head)
   head = DeleteLastNode(head)
   fmt.Printf("After deleting last node of the linked list: ")
   TraverseLinkedList(head)
}

Output

Input Linked list is: 30 10 40 40
After deleting last node of the linked list: 30 10 40
