Hint
You are given the head of a linked list. Remove every node which has a node with a greater value anywhere to the right side of it. Return the head of the modified linked list.

Example 1:
Input: head = [5,2,13,3,8]
Output: [13,8]
Explanation: The nodes that should be removed are 5, 2 and 3.

  • Node 13 is to the right of node 5.
  • Node 13 is to the right of node 2.
  • Node 8 is to the right of node 3.

Example 2:
Input: head = [1,1,1,1]
Output: [1,1,1,1]
Explanation: Every node has value 1, so no nodes are removed.

Constraints:

  • The number of the nodes in the given list is in the range [1, 10^5].
  • 1 <= Node.val <= 10^5

Solution

The problem is asking to remove all nodes from a linked list that have a node with a greater value to its right.

Here is a step-by-step solution in Python:

  1. First, we need to reverse the linked list because we want to keep track of the maximum node value from the right.
def reverse(head):
    prev = None
    while head:
        next_node = head.next
        head.next = prev
        prev = head
        head = next_node
    return prev
  1. Then, we traverse the reversed list. If the current node's value is less than the maximum value, we skip it. Otherwise, we keep it and update the maximum value.
def removeNodes(head):
    head = reverse(head)
    new_head = None
    max_node = head
    while head:
        if head.val >= max_node.val:
            if new_head is None:
                new_head = head
            else:
                max_node.next = head
            max_node = head
        head = head.next
    if max_node:
        max_node.next = None
    return reverse(new_head)

In the above code, removeNodes function is the main function which calls reverse function to reverse the linked list and then removes the nodes which have a node with a greater value anywhere to the right side of it. Finally, it returns the head of the modified linked list.
