Approach: No previous pointer: copy the next node’s value into the current node, then bypass the next node.

Complexity: O(1) time, O(1) space

js

/**
 * Definition for singly-linked list.
 * function ListNode(val) {
 *     this.val = val;
 *     this.next = null;

 */
/**
 * @param {ListNode} node
 * @return {void} Do not return anything, modify node in-place instead.
 */
var deleteNode = function(node) {
    node.val = node.next.val
    node.next = node.next.next
};
